Pinafore and Dress  OLIVIA

  The pinafore dress OLIVIA is really two dresses: An easy-to-sew under dress and a wonderfully versatile pinafore. The under dress is slightly flared and has a long hood, which can be knotted twice, and is adorned with a fun sweatshirt-type pocket. The under dress may cut short for summer or longer for cooler seasons. Recommended fabrics are light to medium weight knits. The under dress is suitable for beginners, however the tracing of pattern pieces may require some concentration.

The pinafore can be made opening either in the front or the back. The pinafore works well without the under dress over jeans, slacks or leggings. The design includes an optional hem casing through which a ribbon or cord can cinch the hem creating a slight balloon effect.
