Smultron media12/18/2023 However, the pattern itself is designed to be (just above) knee-length in it’s original form. The pattern also provides tips on how to lengthen or shorten the dress for a mini or maxi look. The pattern itself was very easy to follow, as with Sanna’s other patterns. So, if you are hoping for a tighter look, you may want to size down as there is a lot of ease in View B, considering the back ties and the low-cut back. I hoped that because I would be using the back ties from View B, there would be enough ease to loosen or tighten the dress. So I took a chance and cut a size 10, which was closer to my pre-pregnancy size. However, I wanted to make sure that I would be able to wear this dress into postpartum and beyond. I measured between sizes 12 and 14 for this dress in my current 9-month pregnant body. Although summer is almost over here where I live, I plan on wearing this dress with a sweater and boots into the fall. The outcome of the Smultron Dress in the Horizon Twill is my dream summer dress. The Maker Studio carries the Horizon Twill in a variety of colours – Terra Cotta, Camo, Rust, Tumeric, Copper and Clay. The Horizon Twill is also 5.9 oz/sq yd, which is light enough to be used for dress-making. This one in particular is 100% Lyocell, which is one of the most sustainable fabrics out there, as it is made using natural materials and does not require toxic chemicals to produce. I love twill fabric – the gorgeous drape, the diagonal textured lines – it’s so unique compared to other fabrics. I decided to go with the Horizon Twill in the Terra Cotta. Woven fabrics are recommended for the Smultron Dress. There are two different options for the dress: View A has a V-neck yoke and an elastic back View B has a slightly curved yoke with back ties.įor my dress, I decided to sew the V-neck yoke from View A with the back ties from View B. It is cut on the bias, providing the most flattering silhouette. The Smultron Dress is a breezy, flowy dress, with all the bounce and twirl. Can you tell I’m obsessed? So it’s no surprise that I decided to make Sanna’s latest pattern, the Smultron Dress, for my next blog post. I have made a few different designs from Paradise Patterns: the Plumeria Top and the Hallon Dress, and both of these designs are absolutely stunning. Sanna’s patterns are not only modern and beautiful, but they are also clear, detailed, and easy to follow. Paradise Patterns is now available as part of the Maker Studio’s pattern collection! If you don’t already know, Paradise Patterns is an independent sewing pattern maker, and behind the business is the lovely Sanna.
