An effortless, elegant style, the Fable Dress is equally at home pottering around the garden, or dressed up for an evening out. The fit is relaxed, but not oversized, with a princess seam bodice, gently-gathered skirt, and gloriously deep inseam pockets.
The Fable features a functional button front, but can also slip over the head without fasteners. With three sleeve lengths and options for both a faced or fully-lined bodice, the Fable adapts with the seasons for year-round wear.
Optional waist ties or back bodice elastic add versatility for fluctuating weight, and provide plenty of choice for creating different looks.
Skill level: Adventurous beginner - Intermediate
