Trapeze Dress Virtual Workshop
The Trapeze Dress by Merchant & Mills is a true modern classic and in this workshop, we’ll sew it together while exploring a few of the 7 Hacks, each offering a fresh way to transform this versatile pattern. From a sailor collar or frill sleeve to a tiered skirt or bias-cut silhouette, you’ll discover how small design choices can completely change the look and feel of your dress.
