The Paper Theory Patterns Zadie Dress is a relaxed and easy-to-wear wrap dress version of the Zadie Jumpsuit. It wraps around the body and is held in place securely with a tie belt so there is no need for buttons or a zip, nor too many fitting issues as it can be tightened or loosened to suit. The dress can be sleeveless with a dropped shoulder or have wide 3/4 length sleeves. The skirt is midi length and has in-seam side pockets. The neck edge is finished with bias binding.
Note: You can also make a Zadie Dress using the Zadie Jumpsuit + Zadie Dress Expansion patterns if you’re a Zadie-lover already!
This is a much-requested hybrid created from two popular patterns: the Nina Lee Kew Dress and the Portobello Trousers. These vintage-inspired designs come together to create a timeless jumpsuit perfect for year-round dressing. With a faux button placket front and concealed zip back closure, you can choose between sleeves and straps and you’ll get compliments for super-styling either way!
Now in Merchant & Mills extended size range, the Trapeze Dress is a useful piece. The flared dress has the option of a button through back or a simple slip over the head. Includes three sleeve options: sleeveless, short sleeve and long (3/4) sleeve. The Trapeze is so easy to make and so easy to wear. Make it for winter in Harris tweed teamed with a chunky brogue, in a bold block print or in a washed linen for summer. Try it in denim or cord for a workwear look. It is endlessly versatile.
The Juliana Martejevs Riley Dress cleverly combines the airy lightness of a dress with the sporty charm of a polo shirt. This relaxed maxi dress features a polo collar, long sleeves, and side slits. A stylish and comfortable choice for autumn/winter.
