From In the Folds:
The latest addition to our signature pattern collection, the Elwood dress is all about sophisticated comfort and effortless dressing. The perfect floaty house dress for a warm summer’s day or a beautifully refined dress for an evening soiree, Elwood will fill a wardrobe gap you didn’t know you had.
Garment Details:
Featuring a v-neck with sweeping panel lines the Elwood dress has a captivating silhouette that is a gentle nod to all the features you love about our Collins top design, including its pieced, puzzle-like construction.
With two pattern views (one featuring a stylish lantern sleeve and the other sleeveless) this design is both pretty and practical. It has a calf-length hem, in-seam pockets, with bias binding and French seams for a beautiful and professional finish.
Recommended Fabrics: The Elwood dress is compatible with mid-weight woven fabrics such as: linen, linen blends, cotton poplin and chambray. Lightweight fabrics are also suitable, but will create a softer and more relaxed silhouette. For a softer silhouette, consider sateen, silk (crepe de chine or habotai), double gauze or viscose (rayon). Be careful if you are a beginner though, as these fabrics are a little trickier to sew. Keep in mind that the weight of the fabric will determine the amount of structure and drape in the Elwood dress.
