Thought you’d found your favourite dress? Think again – the Farah Dress is here to take the spotlight
This dress puts the ‘star’ in ‘cover star’! The Farah Dress Set is a classic smock design and we can’t get enough of it! Not only is it effortlessly stylish and wonderfully comfortable, it’s also a simple sew that can bridge that sometimes tricky crossover period between the seasons. For end-of-summer weddings and late evenings making the most of the light nights, pop on a pair of wedges and a lightweight jacket and you’re ready to go. And for those soon-to-come breezy days walking leaf-littered paths, layer up with a cardigan and a pair of tights for an outfit you can trust to make you feel good.
Get creative with this pattern and mix and match skirt and sleeve lengths to best suit your wardrobe – we can’t wait to see what you make!
