This download also includes print at home - 91 x A4 pages.
Fabric suggestions - Dry Oilskin, Oilskin (lined version only), Tweed, Woollens, Cotton Drill, Cotton Canvas, Waterproofed Cottons and Linens. Using something like oilskin will ensure it keeps it structural shape, but we think it would look equally good in something more slinky like a Tencel Twill.
For the ribbing neckline, use rib that stretches by half again, i.e. 10cm piece stretches to 15cm.
For the lining we would recommend using our Barrier Lining if you are making the oilskin version. Other lining options; Brushed Cotton, Cotton Poplin, or a medium weight slip lining in viscose or acetate.
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
