Description:

Channelling the free spirits of the 1970's, The Honey is a maxi sundress made for lazy days. Featuring a neat, mitred bodice and a gently elasticated back. Choose bold patterns, little prints or plains for distinctively different looks.

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.

Skill level - intermediate.

Fabric suggestions - We recommend light weight wovens such as linen, chambray, seersucker, cotton lawn, cotton poplin, tencel and indian handlooms. Avoid linen that is too heavy as with the gathers this could be too weighty. 

Our embroidery design for the centre panel is an additional PDF pattern. The design is by Evie May Adams, and the embroidery for this sample was beautifully stitched by Becky Hogg. 

Paper vs PDF

If you order a paper copy you will be sent a printed version of our pattern. If you select PDF, you are purchasing a digital file which will be stored on your account to be downloaded at any time. PDF's will include a tiled, an A0 copy shop file and your instructions. The tiled file can be used on any home printer and stuck together and is compatible with both A4 and US letter paper. Alternatively, you can send off the copy shop file to be printed full size; we can usually recommend someone in your area. If you are in the UK, we would recommend The Fold Line. The instructions can either be printed at home or simply follow along on your computer or phone.
