Our new 100% cotton organdie fabric is light and sculptural. It lends itself beautifully to dramatic pleats and gathers making it perfect for this year’s Christmas party dress.
Our Boat Neck Factory Dress is transformed from an easy going day dress into the party dress of our dreams. The stiffness of the fabric gives the wide sleeves a statement silhouette and creates a skirt with vintage petticoat-style puff and swish. We’ve chosen to add three growth pleats at the hem to highlight the sheerness of the fabric. The inside is finished throughout with French seams and pin hem facings. The use of organdie in a simple dress pattern like this allows you couture levels of elegance and drama without any uncomfortable waistbands – surely the ultimate outfit hack for a Christmas party?
For more ideas with Organdie you could try a FLORENCE TOP, a MATHILDE SKIRT or even a really cool, sheer ALL STATE SHIRT.
Judy is wearing a size 10. You will need to have the Factory pattern and the Boat Neck Addition. We've made a set of free instructions to help you to elevate your Boat Neck Factory dress with a sheer fabric including fabric allowances for the growth pleats and neatly finished seams inside.
