Holly Dress by Audrey & Tiffany

Introducing Holly by Audrey & Tiffany. 

I have some really big news, the follow up pattern to the Secret Garden dress is now available! For those who need to do some catching up, last year Allison of E+M Patterns and I teamed up to design the pattern and create a tutorial for the Secret Garden dress. We very much enjoyed our experience and created a new pattern shop to release more of our collaborations by the name of Audrey & Tiffany. Today marks the big release of Holly.

You can find Holly and the Secret Garden in our band new Etsy shop...and through to the 14th of February get 25% off you order using the code "HOLLY" at checkout.

The design is very simple, a pretty 1/4 circle skirt above the knee with an empire waist, delicate contrast band and bodice with two different options (pintucks or gathers). The back is a series of buttons and loops and includes a packet for full coverage.

We had an amazing team of testers for this pattern, we couldn't have done it without them. I'll be showing some of the tester photos a little later on in the week. 

Until next time, xx.
