Description

The Hinterland Dress presents a classic, cosy, and graceful silhouette. With its versatility, including three sleeve length choices, full, half, or placket-free options, customisable length, and convenient in seam pockets, this pattern is a versatile wardrobe essential that adapts seamlessly to various seasons.

The dress offers a relaxed fit, featuring side bust darts and a gathered skirt, along with optional waist ties. It's also designed with easy modification in mind, making it suitable for maternity and nursing wear. If you prefer a button-free look, simply cut the front bodice on the fold for a seamless appearance. For added versatility, you can lengthen the bodice and transform it into a charming cropped top, providing even more options for your wardrobe.

Recommended Fabric

Mid-weight linen, silk noil, cotton ikat, and light to mid-weight chambray or denim.

It's important to note that if you intend to lengthen the skirt beyond the provided midi length, you'll need to acquire extra fabric. Additionally, if you're working with a directional fabric or plan to match patterns, you'll require additional fabric to ensure a seamless and well-aligned result.
