From Peppermint Magazine, Issue 53:
Dress it up or dress it down, throw it on and get ready to go, go, go with our latest free pattern – the Peppermint Bowen Dress!
We collaborated with clever Kiwi patternmaker Kim Sisson from Hubba Ding to create the ultimate in comfort dressing – an extravagantly voluminous tent dress. With relaxed dropped shoulders and rah-rah ruffle sleeves, the oversized silhouette makes a dramatic splash, while being cool and comfy enough for everyday wear. And it’s reversible! You can button up your bosom with a sweet button closure and flash a V-neck’s worth of shoulder blades or flip those buttons to the back and display a little daring decolletage. All this and pockets too? Bump the Bowen Dress to the top of your to-sew pile already!
Exciting news! A free printed pattern is included in our latest print edition for the first time ever – how cool is that?! Stitch your way to happiness without the stress of having to download the pattern and print it yourself or the time-consuming challenge that is taping together All Those Pages. Head to our shop or your local stockist to grab a copy of the magazine today to get your free printed pattern or you can download the pattern for free.
