Brigitte Dress in Ondula Plum Jersey |
To create a slimline dress for this lovely and oh-so soft Italian jersey, we made a simple modification to our Brigitte Top.
The original pattern was lengthened at the hemline by 18″ (46cm),
continuing the original hipline all the way to the hem edge. The
finished length of this dress is 39″ (100cm) and it includes a half inch hem.

If needed, you could add half an inch at the hip point and then taper back
at the hemline.

Hi, Would you please let me know the type of fabric you used for the Sydney jacket? I like how it drapes
Hi Katie. It's Thesis of Moss, a boiled wool as seen in this blog post – http://tessuti.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/new-sydney-jacket-pattern.html?m=1
