Wrap yourself up in stretchy handmade comfort, this dress and tunic are like a hug that keeps giving all day.
We wanted to design a garment which would provide warmth AND style. I like layering up so the generous sizing allows the dress to be worn over a long sleeved top.
The Cosy Jersey Dress and Tunic is a really versatile pattern that allows you to create three completely different looks with one simple pattern.

It is vitally important, when sewing your own clothes, to take accurate measurements of your body, and not rely on the sizing you expect to buy on the high street. For this pattern we have opted to use sizing XS – XXL, which approximately covers UK sizes 8 – 24. Measure yourself first to choose the right size for you!
