DAPHNE PINAFORE DRESS & TOP sewing pattern and KIT

CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK- BACK END MARCH 26

PRE-ORDER NOW FOR MARCH END DELIVERY 

This listing is for a posted paper sewing pattern to make a gorgeous, unique Daphne Pinafore dress or top; a versatile sleeveless garment, that can be made in an array of fabrics for all seasons.

(Please note that the pattern is for the Pinafore only and not the roll neck under garment which is available on a separate listing under the name INGRID). 

The pull on top or dress has sections with topstitching detailing and features the most glorious deep front side pockets. Daphne Pinafore also has bust darts, cheeky back pockets, and the back view features a slit opening.

The top version features side slit openings and a short lower band. The length can be adjusted to suit you, using lengthen lines drawn on the pattern templates. This pattern has been made for a 5ft 7" person, and designed for a garment to be worn underneath, therefore not tight fitting at the bodice. If you would like to make for summer, without a top underneath, I would advise going down a size. Please check the 'Finished Garment Size' in the pattern instructions booklet for details.
Daphne Pinafore and top pattern comes with full sized sturdy paper templates, in inclusive sizes from 8 to 30, with a step by step, easy to follow, illustrated instructions booklet, all packed up in an envelope. Templates can be pinned or weighed down when cutting out.
Suitable fabrics to make this dress and top would be medium weight cotton, denims, corduroy, linen and linen mixes. Why not think about mixing fabrics of similar weights and type to make a patchwork version (see last two images). A great addition to your holiday wardrobe.

A PDF DOWNLOAD VERSION IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON A SEPARATE LISTING.
