THE HONEY • Pattern

By Merchant & Mills, The Honey is a paper sewing pattern. *COMING SOON*

Garment Details: Channelling the free spirits of the 1970's, The Honey is a maxi sundress made for lazy days. Featuring a neat mitred bodice and a gently elasticated back. Choose bold patterns, little prints or plains for distinctively different looks.

M&M's embroidery design for the centre panel is an additional PDF pattern. The design is by Evie May Adams, and the embroidery for this sample was beautifully stitched by Becky Hogg.

Sizing: This is a multi-size paper pattern including sizes 6-18  or 18-18. Sizing, finished garment measurements and fabric requirements can be found in the chart located in images.

Fabric Suggestions: Light weight wovens such as linen, chambray, seersucker, cotton lawn, cotton poplin, Tencel and Indian handlooms. Avoid linen that is too heavy as with the gathers this could be too weighty.
