Linda is a three-hole dress designed for the autumn-winter season, ideal for layering over a pretty blouse or a lightweight sweater.
Its trapeze cut is subtly shaped by two bust darts, offering a silhouette that is both comfortable and elegant. Its round neckline is complemented by a buttoned polo placket at the center back, making it easier to put on.
The finishes of the neckline and armholes are made using a facing across the full width of the bodice, for an interior as neat as the exterior.
I made my dress in a Milano knit; I chose this fabric for its heavy drape and resistance to wrinkling, but you could absolutely make your dress in a woven fabric. For example, gabardine, velvet, tweed…
1.30m of fabric by 1.40m width (1.50m for sizes 42 and above)
1.30m of bias tape (1.60m for sizes 42 and up)
3 buttons (approximately 15mm in diameter)
Iron-on tape for your polo placket
