An easy-to-wear dress is a staple in many dressmakers’ wardrobes; something to throw on when you’re not sure what to wear or you just want something to feel comfortable in! With this bundle you have the supplies you need to make a garment that feels both relaxed and beautifully put together, by simply adding your favourite pattern.
Featuring our exclusive Navy & Aqua Bauhaus Segments Viscose Poplin, this bundle is perfect for sewing dresses with soft movement, gentle structure and plenty of personality.
Designed by Rachel Parker, these striking prints bring a modern art-inspired feel to your handmade wardrobe. Made from 100% viscose poplin the fabrics have a beautiful fluid drape while still holding enough body for crisp seams, soft shaping and gentle gathers. They're breathable and soft to wear, allowing dresses to move naturally while remaining comfortable throughout the day.
We’ve included self-cover buttons within the bundle too, allowing you to highlight favourite tones from the fabric for a special finishing touch. Whether you’re sewing a relaxed everyday dress or something softly romantic, these fabrics adapt beautifully to lots of different dress styles and pattern options.
For a loose shape which is perfect for wearing in hot weather, the Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress would be a lovely choice. Or if you’re after some classic shirt details then TATB’s Lyra Dress is a community favourite for good reason!
If you’d like some extra support while sewing your project, Lauren’s Top Tips videos are packed with helpful techniques and guidance to help you approach your make with confidence.
