A Note About Product Colours

We photograph almost all of our fabrics and products ourselves and take great care to represent their colours as accurately as possible.

However, colours may appear slightly different in real life due to lighting, photography and variations in individual screen and monitor settings. For this reason, we cannot guarantee an exact colour match.

We kindly ask that you keep this in mind before placing your order. If an exact shade is essential to your project, or you're unsure about a colour shown in our photographs, we recommend contacting us before purchasing.

Please note that slight colour variations between our photographs and the actual product are not considered faults and are not, on their own, grounds for a refund.

ONE PATTERN, SO MANY POSSIBILITIES 

Meet Leah, the pattern you’ll make and wear on repeat. Love clean lines and an understated style? Sew an everyday shift top or minimalist mini dress to throw on and go. Fancy more whimsy? Add the gathered skirt to make a pretty peplum top or floaty tiered midi dress, with optional playful side ties. 

  • Choice of shift top, shift dress, peplum top, or tiered midi dress 
  • Semi-fitted, slightly A-line, sleeveless bodice with bust darts 
  • Optional side ties on the peplum top and tiered dress versions 
  • Bias binding finish on the neckline and armholes 
  • Keyhole back opening with button and loop 

SKILL LEVEL - For Confident Beginners

SIZE RANGE - UK 6-34 / US 2-30 / EUR 34-62 / AUS 6-34

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS - The shift dress works best in medium-weight woven fabrics that hold their shape, such as linen, cotton twill, lightweight canvas, or jacquard. For the other versions, use light- to medium-weight woven fabrics such as cotton poplin, lawn, seersucker, double gauze, linen and blends, viscose (rayon).
