Meet the chic Lois Dress!

Meet the perfect work dress: the Lois Dress!

 

 

Lois is a chic, elegant dress, perfect for the office. Whilst the design is inspired by our love of thef 1970s style, Lois feels modern and contemporary - and quite Duchess of Cambridge if you ask us!

The bodice features shaping with a clever combination of darts and pleats, perfectly positioned to reduce unnecessary bulk around the bust and waist.

The faux-wrap, V-shaped neckline is completed with a cute collar and collar stand. There is no back neckline facing, creating a beautifully clean finish on the inside of the dress. Lois's long sleeves finish with cuffs, but can easily be cut shorter to match your desired length.

The pattern includes two hem lengths. Graceful and sleek, version 1 hits below the knee, and features short slits in the side seam for a little bit of extra movement and swish.

Version 2 is a cute 60s-inspired length, designed to hit above the knee. This version looks fabulous with opaque tights and ankle boots for cooler weather.

Lois has no zips or buttons, and instead goes over the head thanks to the elasticated back waist. As well as making the dress easy to sew and fit, not to mention comfy to wear, the elastic creates a gorgeous gathered effect whilst nipping in the waist.
