The Georgie dress is a chic everyday knit dress that is comfy to wear and easy to style. It has a faux wrap front that provides the right amount of coverage and is guaranteed to be gape free!
Georgie comes with two different skirt options: a slightly a-line gathered skirt and an elegant ¾ circle skirt. The sleeves are full length but can easily be shortened to suit your style, which Lauren discusses in her tips video.
The wrap bodice is fully lined, providing extra support as well as a beautiful clean finish on the neckline. There are pleats on the front bodice, which help to provide bust shaping and texture. To keep the neckline nice and secure, elastic is cleverly inserted into the front seam allowance and hidden on the inside.
Elastic is also sewn into the waistline to help support it and stop it from bagging out with wear. Optional belt loops can then be sewn on top so you can have the option to wear your dress with a little belt.
Georgie is the perfect year round dress that you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again. She looks great layered up with tights and a cardi in chilly weather, but equally good with bare legs and sandals when summer arrives!
All kits contain enough fabric to make either view of the dress.
For this kit we’ve chosen three lovely stretchy jerseys on two base cloths: navy multi sprinkle, teal scribble dot and purple flower shadows.
The navy and teal fabrics are both high quality cotton jerseys, with a weight of 200gsm making them opaque. They are 95% cotton and 5% elastane, which means they have great stretch and recovery as well as the breathable qualities of cotton. They’re also incredibly comfortable to wear.
The purple flower fabric is a bamboo/cotton blend knit (67% bamboo, 28% cotton, 5% elastane) which also has a weight of 200gsm. This fabric has the same stretchiness as the above cotton jerseys, whilst the bamboo content adds an extra drapiness to the fabric. It makes it super soft too!
Each kit includes a coordinating viscose jersey lining fabric. This fabric is stretchy and lightweight, making it ideal for lining the bodice without adding too much bulk. It is 95% viscose and 5% elastane.
