Amberley Dress E.S.
Description
This is an Extended Sizing version of the Amberley Dress.
Ageless and timeless, the Amberley is super easy to wear and make. Oversized for comfort and coolness.
Wear as is for summer, layer with long sleeve T or turtle neck for Autumn/Winter.
Easy to customise, you can shorten the skirt for a different look, or add on big patch pockets, maybe in a contrasting fabric?
So easy to make and wear, I have lots of these made up in different fabrics. So comfy!
The pattern is also available as a kit, including Fabric and notions, from our kits page (while stocks last).
This pattern also comes with a free tutorial video that takes you through all stages of construction. You can view the video before buying the pattern if you’d like to get more detail about construction - just scroll to the bottom of the page.

About Our Patterns
Our patterns are printed on high quality paper rather than tissue paper, making them much more re-usable and less likely to tear. Patterns are packaged in a sturdy re-usable string and washer envelope and come with a clearly written and illustrated instruction booklet, along with a QR code that will take you directly to the corresponding YouTube video tutorial.
Our tutorial videos all features chapter marks, allowing you to jump directly to specific construction steps without needing to search through the video manually. They also contain useful hints and tips from the Sussex Seamstress herself. Tutorials are produced with the maker in mind, and are to-the-point and informative.
Format
This is a paper pattern plus instructions. We aim to mail out patterns the next working day.
