From Sew Over It:
We’re willing the sun to appear with the Martha Dress!
Designed for wovens, Martha is perfect for summer fabrics like linen and cotton. She looks fabulous in ginghams, spots, plains, just about anything really! Depending on the fabric that you use, the Martha Dress could also double up for a stunning evening dress. She’d look effortlessly glam in a luxurious or bold print.
Fitted with darts, the Martha Dress bodice is designed to be a snug fit, with pleats leading into a dramatic long sash. The wrap over bodice allows you to cinch the waist in or leave it a little loose – whatever you prefer, and perfect for after picnic comfort! When sewing up Martha, you’ll have the choice of two skirt lengths; just below the knee or midi. Both work perfectly whether you’re throwing on your trusty white pumps, or dressing up in heels. The bias cut skirts also give you plenty of swishing potential. The Martha Dress is finished with a centre back concealed zip, and pocket fans – this is one for you! The Martha Dress has in seam pockets to make her as functional as she is gorgeous.
Recommended Fabrics: Light to medium weight woven fabrics such as cotton, poplin, sateen, viscose linen blends, heavier viscose, viscose twill, stable seersuckers, chambray, stable crepes and brocade. Due to the bias cut skirt, strong directional prints are not recommended.
Sizes: UK 6-20, 18-30 and 6-30
