Hacked Orla Kiely Inspired Martha Dress

Another fantastic pattern from TATBs, It’s a great starting block to hack for other designs too. This is my second hack of this dress. You can see my full review and more photos here: https://girlcansew.blogspot.com/2020/05/return-to-blog-tilly-and-buttons-martha.html

The princess seams make for easy fitting across the bust and the seamlines create great opportunities for you to personalise your makes. Whether to add a frill, ribbon or other trims. Depending on fabric choice this could be a summer or winter dress. You could even draft a waistband and just make the skirt. Cut on the bias the skirt has beautiful flow but it does mean you’ll need more fabric than if it were cut straight.
