Sew a vintage-inspired dress or blouse with our new Viola PDF pattern!
The Viola Dress & Blouse is the latest addition to our vintage collection, featuring a button up front, flat collar, gathers at the waist and shoulder, a lined back yoke, slightly dropped shoulder and a wide waistband.
The pièce de résistance is the shirred panel at the back, which makes Viola comfortable to wear whilst giving you a beautiful fitted look.
Sew yourself a beautiful Viola Dress: the midi skirt gathers into the waistband to mirror the bodice and closes with buttons down the front.
And yes, it has pockets!
You can also make Viola as a high-waist Blouse to pair with high-waisted jeans, our Peggy Trousers or a fitted skirt.
You can pick between two sleeve lengths for both versions:
a short sleeve with a turn-up or a longer sleeve gathered into a cuff.
Choose fabrics with structure such as cotton poplin or chambray for a crisp Viola, something drapey like viscose or crepe for a softer look.
