As a special bonus project for patrons at Aficionado tier, I'm pleased to introduce this peplum expansion for the Café Culture dress.

I'm delighted to introduce the Café Culture Dress, an elegant day or cocktail dress with mid-late 1940s styling. This is a beginner-friendly pattern, with a relaxed fit and no sleeves to set in.

The Sophisticate tea dress features ruched shoulder yokes which meet at a V-neckline above a sweetheart shaped lower bodice. The skirt side front panels are gathered into hip yokes and fall in soft folds, echoing the ruching in the bodice.

As a special bonus for patrons at Aficionado tier, I'm pleased to introduce the Sailor Collar expansion, compatible with both the Rendezvous jacket and Démoiselle dress (taking the number of possible combinations up to 40!)

The Rendezvous Jacket is a V-necked, zip-front hooded jacket inspired by an original vintage example from the late 30s.

The Démoiselle dress, based on Hollywood Patterns 1854 from c1939, is a versatile zipper front house dress or afternoon frock.

This month’s Patreon project is the Cosmopolitan dress, a versatile dress with late-30s-meets-70s styling.

The Daytripper Dress is a fun, flirty day or cocktail dress that draws inspiration from styles of the late 30s to early 50s.

The Brunch dress, based on Hollywood Patterns 1854 from c1939, is a versatile zipper front house dress or afternoon frock.
