Staff Made - Olivia's Kingsley Dress

What a delight this Kingsley Dress is, lovingly made for HO team member Olivia by her Mum, Moira! Perfect for their family holiday in Fiji, and all the beach visits to come this summer. Olivia chose Daisy Pop Silk Crepe de Chine in our soft grass green colourway, so cute! Check out more below.

 


Moira's Project Notes 

"This was an easy pattern to sew! I had to cut it out carefully, as it is cut on the bias. It was quick to put together - just a few darts and side seams. I didn't interface the facing to keep the silk soft, and I think that was the right decision.

I didn't think it needed the elastic across the back, but Olivia is going to add it in, as she feels the fit will be better across the back after wearing it a few times. The pattern had a great tip for sewing the spaghetti straps - using string to pull it back through! I'd happily make this dress again."
