In the Folds : Rushcutter Dress Pattern

The Rushcutter is an oversized knee-length, A-line dress, designed for woven fabrics, available in two different styles. It is the perfect winter dress made in heavyweight fabrics, worn with tights and boots, while the sleeveless version, made in lighter fabrics, can become a summer wardrobe staple. Included in the pattern is an optional waist sash, that is suitable for both styles.

Your fabric choice will have a big impact on the silhouette you will achieve. For a more structured, boxy look, consider mid-weight denim, twill or jacquard. Or, for a more relaxed, draped look, consider a viscose blend or silk crepe de chine.
