The Ophelia dress and top is a romantic design with whimsical sleeves. The shaped bodice has dropped shoulders and open darts in the front and regular darts at the back. View A: The midi skirt is gathered at the waist, has hidden inseam pockets and is finished with a dramatic wide hem. View B: The top has a peplum and is finished with a narrow hem. The sleeves are inspired by the 19th century Virago sleeves and has gathers, flounces and are finished with bias binding. The Ophelia dress and top has a rounded neckline and closes with a back zipper.
This dress was my best selling design during S/S2021 and S/S2022.
Sewing difficulty
The pattern is beginner friendly. You should be able to sew bias binding for the neckline and the sleeves. You should be able to insert a concealed zipper. The gathering lines on the sleeves and the pockets are optional.
Fabric suggestions
Choose a woven fabric with structure such as cotton, cotton lawn, linen, linen/viscose blend, linen/cotton blend, cotton/viscose blend. Try intricate fabrics such as organza, lace, fil coupé, embroidery or brocade for a special occasion. A drapier fabric such as viscose will give the garment less volume.
Fabric usage
View A: 3.5 meter (EU34) to 4.2 meters (EU50). View B: 1.6 meter (EU34) to 2.4 meters (EU50)
