I’m on a dress kick this week for this roundup of inclusive sewing patterns, so I’ve included a bonus pattern at the bottom which is something I’ve been thinking about a lot as the weather gets warmer here in Christchurch! I’m trying to keep on top of all the pattern makers who are extending their sizing, because sometimes it takes ages for me to discover that a pattern company is making things in my size now! Case in point, is dress number 1:
Number 1, Belemnite Dress
The Belemnite Dress from Marilla Walker
This first release of the new extended size range from Marilla Walker at a 58″ bust and 60″ hip
Number 2, Hippolyta Dress
The Hippolyta Dress from Sew Me Something
This pattern squeezes in to the listing with 49″ bust and 52″ hip as the largest size. Check out GariChild’s version for a better idea of the lines
Number 3, Rachel Dress
Rachel front-tie dress from Jalie
Available up to a 51″ bust and 54″ hip this pattern possibly predates a wrap dress which I love, from a NZ designer, but which isn’t in my size!
Number 4, Iris Dress
The Iris dress from StyleArc
Bonus Pattern: Kaye Shorts
Kaye bra and shorts from Seamwork
What a better accompaniment to a roundup of dresses then a pair of shorts that will stop your thighs from touching (and rubbing)!
There’s a review of the pattern over on the CSC and make sure you read Green Violet’s review before you cut in to your fabric!
