Carnaby – PDF Sewing Pattern (sizes 16–28)

£9.00

A simple shift dress with just enough features to keep things interesting, Carnaby is the perfect palette for playing with pattern and colour. With separate skirt and bodice pieces, you can easily create a striking colour block effect or keep it subtle with just a pop of contrast in the pockets. This is a super wearable dress inspired by the a-line shifts of the 1960s, brought up-to-date with contemporary touches.

Carnaby comes in two variations: with or without short sleeves (View A is sleeveless; View B has sleeves). The dress is finished with neck facings and closes with an exposed zip at the centre-back, complete with simple zip guard. The instructions are comprehensive, so it doesn’t matter if you’ve never tackled an exposed zip before – you’ll enjoy it!

Testing is complete and so I can now announce that Testing is complete and so I can now announce that Bakerloo in 16-28 will be released this Friday! Here’s a not-so-sneaky peek of tester @sew_the_line Jess’s gorgeous version - I love her print placement! She made the D-cup option; sizes 16-28 come with two cup options.
