Plumpton Dress

Description

The Plumpton is a practical, loose fit knee length dress with flattering princess seams, a square neckline and lovely big pockets.  

The dress is fitted at the bust and loose over the waist with no zips or fastenings. If you prefer a more fitted waistline you may need to add a zip to the side seam or use a fabric with more stretch so you can still get it over your shoulders.

Make up in a woven fabric with a bit of stretch (3%) for easy dressing. Use denim or wool for Autumn/Winter and pair with tights & boots. Make up in a Bengaline for Spring/Summer and wear with sandals and a cardi.

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.
