Make a choice from the dropdown menu - you can choose either just the pdf files or we can also print the A0 pattern sheets for you.
Note: the print service does not include printing of the instruction pages.
This pattern is available in the following size ranges:
A loose fitting dress or top with front and back pleats, side in-seam pockets (dress only), breast pocket and a sailor collar. Perfect attire for any board walk.
All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.
Skill level - intermediate.
This download also includes print at home - 33 x A4 pages.
Fabric suggestions - medium weight dress weight wovens, cotton sanded twill, 6-9oz denim, linen, corduroy, tencel, tencel/linen.
The more structured the fabric the more sculptural your top/dress will look. If you are using a heavier fabric you may want to use a lighter weight cloth for the under collar and front facings, to reduce bulk.
I recently emailed Maaike to ask if she would recommend this pattern being made from the chunky cotton knit and she responded promptly and gave great advice. It was so convenient to be able to have the pattern printed in A0 size too.
Quality classic pattern.
MaaiDesigns are a favourite.
I've made three of these and absolutely love them!
The fit is great and the style goes with heaps of things.
I'm super happy with this pattern
Bought the Box dress pattern as a PDF, printed and put together to make in the washed denim.Oh boy! Pattern went together really well and directions excellent.
Fabric is gorgeous and so happy with the outcome. Have put in second order for fabric and patterns and now waiting for fabric to dry before making up. QUALITY
