Mayfair – printed sewing pattern (sizes 16–28)

£14.95

The Mayfair Dress is a jersey dream designed to carry you from office to cocktails, from beach to bar, or from sofa to fridge and back again(!) – it’s comfortable, elegant, supremely flattering and wonderfully versatile. With three sleeve lengths and a knee-length or maxi skirt option, this pattern has got all situations covered. Its relaxed fit and gently flowing lines create a winning combination of easy-to-wear and effortlessly stylish. Pair the maxi with sandals and a broad-brimmed hat in the summer; pair the knee-length with long sleeves and tights and boots to see you through the winter. Mayfair is for all occasions, all year!

The dress features an all-in-one grown-on collar and facing, set-in sleeves and a gathered waist at the centre-front, with an attached waist tie for tying at the back or front of the dress.

**This pattern is for UK sizes 16–28; click here for sizes 16–20 or here to see our full size chart.**

Skill level: confident beginner/intermediate. No experience sewing with knits necessary – the pattern includes a section on ‘Tips for Sewing with Knits’.

Suitable fabrics

Knit fabrics with 25% crosswise stretch and with some drape, e.g. viscose jersey, stretch velvet or soft cotton jerseys.

Notions

50 cm ( 20 inches) clear elastic, 1cm wide

Happy Friday, it’s finally here - the Kew Dress Happy Friday, it’s finally here - the Kew Dress and Skirt is now available in sizes 16-28! 🎉 Here’s gorgeous Laura aka @thespeckyseamstress wearing version 1 - check out the product page for other stunning tester versions across all 3 variations! 

The printed version will be available in two weeks’ time. The Kew skirt expansion pack needs another round of testing but I’m hoping it will be ready in 2-3 weeks (check our Laura’s other versions for a sneak peek!). Then Park Lane will be the next to join the 16-28 range! 😀

A few days’ late but this was my Valentine’s o A few days’ late but this was my Valentine’s outfit - something I’d been dreaming of since the release of Bakerloo! Yes indeed - it’s a barely recognisable hacked #bakerloodress, made from silk organza without the collar but with an added skirt frill. Underneath I’m wearing a shortened and tightened satin #sadieslipdress. Is this one of the most grandly impractical outfits I’ve ever made? Probably! But what’s the point of sewing if we can’t go mad with it sometimes?! 

Let me know if you’d like a blog post on creating this hack as it’s super simple!

A few of you have been adding bows to your Bakerlo A few of you have been adding bows to your Bakerloos and I am officially obsessed! Just look at this fabulous version by @franklymarvellous with a bow from @daisybeenecklines 😍 Since watching Bridgerton last week (behind the times, I know!) I want anything fancy, frilly and extravagant and am planning a bow-laden Bakerloo accordingly! 🎀 Anyone else find their wardrobe plans now being dictated by Netflix?! 😄
