The Pheasant Dress- Pattern Preview

The Night Heron Dress is currently being pattern tested, which means that it’s time to start on the pattern for the Pheasant Dress! I’m also currently working on adding projector files to Magpie as well as all future patterns.

The Pheasant Dress is closely inspired by the flowing, long-sleeved prairie and renaissance revival dresses of the 1970s. This pattern is designed for all views to be interchangeable, and the Pheasant Dress will also be compatible with other JMD patterns in the Plum Blossom line.

Planned Style Options Include:

-Front-lacing, empire-waisted bodice with princess seams and optional modesty panel

-Choice of V-neck or scooped neckline with optional contrasting details

-Hood

-Choice of empire waistband or skirt. Waist ties are compatible with both options.

-Long circle skirt or six-gored circle skirt with optional ruffle

-Visible front pockets or inseam side pockets

-Peasant sleeve with gathered sleeve cap and cuff options (Standard and Full Bicep options available)

-Contrasting sleeve and skirt details

-Choice of a lapped side or back zipper

-Color-blocking , lace, and ribbon placement suggestions with yardage recommendations

-Cup Sizes A-H for both size ranges (Marian: 0-16 and plus-size friendly Guinevere: 14-32)

-A4/Letter, A0/Copy Shop, and Projector formats
