DAPHNE PINAFORE DRESS | SewGirl | PDF Pattern

DAPHNE PINAFORE DRESS or TOP digital download sewing pattern to make a versatile sleeveless garment, that can be made in an array of fabrics for all seasons.

The pull on top or dress, in all sizes from UK 8-30 (US 6-28), features sections with topstitching detailing and the most gloriously deep, front side pockets. Daphne also has bust darts, cheeky back pockets, and a back slit opening. The top version features lower side slit openings and a short lower band. The length can be adjusted to suit you, using lengthen lines drawn on the pattern templates. 

This pattern has been made for a 5ft 7 (170cm) high person, and designed for a garment to be worn underneath, therefore not tight fitting at the bodice. If you would like to make without a top underneath, I would advise going down a size. Please check the 'Finished Garment Size' in the pattern instructions booklet for details.

Suitable fabrics to make this dress and top would be medium weight cotton, denims, corduroy, linen and linen mixes. Why not think about mixing fabrics of similar weights and type to make a patchwork version (see last two images). A great addition to your holiday wardrobe.

Please view the size guide, finished garment measurements and fabric requirements.

Daphne pattern also require s 1/2 yd (50cm) of lightweight fusible interfacing.

Seam allowance is 1cm (3/8") unless otherwise stated.
