Espresso brown jumper dress in autumnal tones, with oversized pockets and quilt block accents.

Handmade from a combination of designer deadstock fabrics and a rayon linen blend, these dresses are a limited run until the fabric runs out. Based on a gorgeous retro-inspired pattern created by AllisPatterns--if you are a fellow seamstress find her shop here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AllisPatterns

For this dress I used her Margot Dress pattern (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1585889881/the-margot-dress-and-blouse-vintage-pdf) with a few added adjustments such as the quilt-block paneling along the skirt as well as at the top of the shoulders. Her pattern also uses a zipper at the side, but I love the comfort and clean line of snaps that extend along the torso--this way you can keep some of the snaps open at the bottom for a skirt slit that is as open or modest as you prefer.

The plaid of this dress uses shades of golden yellow, tan, ivory, and brown and is 100% linen with a breezy 165gsm weight. The quilt block accents at the dress hem are based off a Ribbon Star shape, commonly used in historical quilting. The rich espresso brown color of the body is Santa Barbara rayon linen (55% Linen/45% Rayon) in a midweight 185 gsm.

And the pockets. Oh the pockets!! They are huge and perfect.

The bodice is shaped with darts and a structured deep V neckline, and its sleeveless cut makes this dress great for layering over a fitted turtleneck when the temperatures drop.

Pictured here in a midi/mid calf length I am also happy to make this shorter or longer to fit your frame.

Made one-at-a-time, by me in my San Francisco studio.
