Dress: This long-sleeved A-line dress features a scooped neck, soft gathers in the side seam and a back tie for a little gentle shaping. There are gentle gathers at the elbow well and a buttoned cuff option. Accompanying the dress are three apron styles that you can "Bib, Button or Wrap" over the dress (or over leggings and a top). Apron #1 Bib: Wide shoulder straps, front bib and a waistband that buttons comfortably in the back. It features large draping "cowl" pockets integrated in the front of the apron skirt. Apron #2 Button: This apron buttons down the front from a sweetheart neckline with wide straps that are softly pleated. The skirt is gored for graceful movement and has roomy patch pockets. Apron #3 Wrap: The simplest to make, this apron goes on over your head with the back piece wrapping around to the front. It features a back pleat and pocket options.
Fabric Suggestions: Dress: soft medium weight fabric with good movement. Soft wool crepe, washed linen, challis, rayon, rayon blends, washed cotton. Aprons: light to medium weight fabrics. Choose soft fabrics for better drape, companion prints work nicely.
Notions: Thread, buttons (for the aprons) Optional: Lightest weight iron-on interfacing, shoulder pads and Velcro for attaching shoulder pads, twill tape.
