If you're a vintage-style lover, this one's for you! Meet the Maisie Dress!
Maisie is an incredibly pretty 1950s-style fit & flare dress - straight out of Mrs Maisel's wardrobe!
The feminine Maisie is your new go-to when you want to feel a little fancy, day or night! It's all about fabric choice. Cotton makes for a lovely daytime look, and the pattern also works beautifully in an Ankara fabric!
If you're dressing up for a fancy party or wedding, you've got the option to go all-out with a dazzling brocade!
Fitted snuggly with darts, the bodice features a fixed wrap front, which pleats into the side seams. The raglan sleeves are shaped with darts over the shoulder for a fantastic fit.
The back bodice mirrors the front with a bra-friendly v-shaped neckline.
The bodice is fitted to the waist for that classic 50s look. The skirt is a half circle, skimming over the tummy and hips with no added bulk and it's designed to finish just below the knee.
Maisie closes at the back with an invisible zip and the neckline is bias bound for a flawless finish.
The Maisie Dress is fantastic for those of us who enjoy a fairly speedy sew. Thanks to the simplicity of the skirt, she's easily whipped up on a Saturday, ready for an evening out!
Like all our new patterns, Maisie is available in our new extended size range of UK 6-30. Sizes 6-20 are drafted to our standard B cup, with the 18-30 range designed for a D cup. Both blocks overlap on size 18 and 20 so that you can choose the cup size most suited to you.
