Sorrel is a fresh take on the classic shirt-waist dress, seamlessly pairing vintage elements with modern design. Shaped with double open-ended darts around the bodice and skirt waistline, Sorrel’s relaxed silhouette and sleek skirt provide the illusion of a fitted garment with all the comfort of a shift-style dress.
A simple foldout collar frames the face, creating a gentle V neckline, and kimono sleeves lend a casual vintage vibe.With A, B, C & D cups included as well as clever inset pockets, Sorrel is a perfect project for confident or beginner seamstress'.
Suggested Fabrics:
The Sorrel Dress is suitable for a wide range of light to medium-weight woven fabrics with some drape. Choose any of your favourite fabrics from cotton lawn, voile and poplin to linen, tencel and double gauze. Rayon and silks would make a lightweight and graceful Sorrel while mid-weight denims would lend themselves to a more structured garment.
