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 suit your desired length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dress comes with two hem lengths. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLois 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended fabrics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the Lois Dress we recommend lightweight woven fabrics with a good drape such as viscose\/rayon and crepe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lois 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.
