The Hinterland Dress offers a timeless, comfortable, and elegant silhouette. Featuring three sleeve options, either partial or full button down plackets, customisable length, and inseam pockets, this is a pattern workhorse that spans the seasons. The fit is loose, with side bust darts and a gathered skirt with optional waist ties, and is easily modified for maternity and nursing. Don't feel like buttons? Cut the front bodice on the fold for a placket-free hack. You might consider lengthening the bodice and hackick it into an adorable cropped top, too! The pattern comes carefully packaged in together with step-by-step sewing instructions.
US sizes 0 - 24, which is the equivalent to UK sizing 2 - 24.
