Feminine and romantic, throw it on and you’ll be set for that picnic in the park, day out at the beach, or hey, even a stint at the office. A truly versatile wardrobe staple, the Doris Dress will keep you looking elegant and put-together no matter what you get up to this season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by Lisa’s love of vintage 1950’s fashion and pretty feminine shapes, the Doris Dress is semi-fitted with a flattering scooped neck bodice, bust pleats for delicate shaping and floaty grown-on sleeves. The waist can be left unfitted for warmer days, or cinched in at the back with the attached ties or fixed back belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fluted panelled skirt has two length variations - short and cute above the knee, or an elegant below the knee option. The Doris Dress closes with a concealed zip in the side seam and has an optional buttonhole closure at the centre front. The bodice is finished with facings for a neat finish on the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended fabrics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recommend a lightweight woven fabric for the Doris Dress, ideally with a good amount of drape. The skirt and grown-on sleeves will hang best if the fabric has some drape. Think rayon, viscose and crepe. However the Doris Dress also works beautifully in cotton, so if you’re not experienced sewing with drapey fabrics and would prefer to use something more stable, you could try a cotton lawn, poplin, or a lightweight linen. These fabrics will give the dress more structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Doris Dress is available in the following formats (just select the one you want from the drop down menu):\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivered Paper Pattern\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you opt for the printed paper pattern we'll print it on our in-house large format A0 printer and post it to your address.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that we don’t print the instructions.
