The Olivia Dress is a pinafore style wrap dress which can be worn on its own or over a top, I recommend the Amaya Shirt, but a simple t-shirt or turtle neck also looks great. It has lovely deep pockets, an adjustable waist tie and shoulder straps which cross at the back. If you are someone who always loves the idea of wearing backless dresses but can’t go braless, the Josie Bra is the perfect match for this dress.

The Olivia Dress is available in UK sizes 6 - 24. A size chart will be included in the pattern to help you work out which size to make.

I recommend this pattern to ambitious beginners and more experienced sewers alike.
