The Fleetwood Dress is a versatile piece designed to take you through the seasons. The button-up bodice is gently shaped by side panels, while the front and back yokes offer plenty of opportunity for colour-blocking and pattern play. For a minimalist look, sew the Fleetwood in a solid colour to highlight these subtle design details.
View A has a bohemian feel, featuring a two-tiered gathered skirt that sits just below the natural waist, while View B has a dropped waist and single gathered skirt for a modern, tomboyish take on the flapper silhouette.
Both views feature ¾-length sleeves with a placket and cuff, allowing them to be rolled up when temperatures rise.
