ABOUT THE DRESS:

The Fleur dress & blouse is a pretty and versatile pattern. The playful bow ties and gathered peplum add an element of fun to this garment. Plus, a secret placket stops you showing more than you might want to between the bows! Made in a lightweight cotton or linen this is the perfect summer dress or blouse. You can also use a heavier weight fabric and wear the sleeveless version as a pinafore dress in cooler weather.

SEWING LEVEL: Advance beginner

The Fleur dress & blouse features a bias finished neckline and optional sleeves. The tie front top means no fiddly zips or buttonholes. 

RECOMMENDED FABRICS

Fabrics with a bit of body such as cotton poplin, linen and lightweight denim will give this garment the structure needed to show off the bows and peplum. For a fancy version, use a sparkly brocade or use a denim or cord to make a winter version.

HOW THE DRESS FITS

The Fleur is a loose fitting dress and blouse. The waist seam sits just above your natural waist and the skirt falls loosely, stopping at low calf length. The placket is designed to stop you showing more than you might want to at the centre front. We have included 2 cup sizes – a B cup and D cup, please see the 'what size should you make?' section on page 4 to see which is the right cup size for you. We have also included 2 bodice shapes – one for the version with sleeves and one for the version without. The version with sleeves only has darts in the D cup. The sleeveless version has a side bust dart in both the B and D cup to give it a better fit.

    Fleur blouse

    Posted by Bitz on 3rd May 2025

    I’ve made this in the blouse and dress previously, so obviously love it! Just noticed a confusing typo in the instructions tho.
    No.25 ‘With WRONG sides together stitch front and back peplum pieces tog….’
    Really threw me even tho I’ve made it before ??‍♀️

    Perfect summery blouse

    Posted by Victoria on 28th Mar 2025

    The instructions were detailed, with great pictures that showed every step. The blouse came together really well. The sizing was great. Now I just have to wait for the weather to warm up so I can wear it.

    Fleur dress

    I have made two of these now. They are roomy but great with a long sleeved t shirt in the colder months. They also look great in summer. Stylish ties and roomy and floaty for hotter weather. Looks great with trainers and a jacket.

    This pattern

    From printing to putting together to making...this is a lovely pattern. I'm not sure the material I'm using is the right weight but I'm persevering and will find out once I've put it all together.
    Overall I'm so happy I purchased it and can see me making this more than once.

    Fleur Dress

    Posted by Yvonne Barclay on 8th Jan 2025

    I would definitely advise making a toile for this dress as it came up very large around the armholes. According to the measuring advice I should have been a size 14 (which I am not). I opted for the size 12 and still found it far too generous around the armholes. I know it’s a loose fitting dress but no one wants to show too much bra!! I also made a slight error in cutting out the front bodice which didn’t affect the overall fit. Would not recommend “print at home” option as too fiddly and easy to miss a tiny extra piece!

    Fleur dress

    I found the armholes to be far too big and lots of bra straps on view. Would definitely recommend making a toile-wish I’d done so!

    Fleur Dress and Blouse pattern

    Posted by Margaret on 9th Nov 2024

    On purchasing the PDF, I love that there's was also an option to request a printed version in my selected sizes and that these arrived promptly by post. I think the design of the Fleur blouse and dress is both flattering and on trend.

    Wonderful pattern

    Posted by Penelope Morrison on 3rd Oct 2024

    I love this pattern. I have already made the blouse with sleeves, next a sleeveless dress. Instructions so straight forward for a novice like me and I have had so many compliments when wearing it. Highly recommend.

    I did have to lengthen the body as I am quite tall, but again, very straightforward.

    Absolutely loved making this up. Really nice design with excellent instructions. Was a dream to sew up. Only criticism is that it's too oversized around waist. Next time will take some width out of back and less fabric on skirt. Looking at other people's makes it seems to me, more flattering on a bigger bust as it is. I am hooked though, and will definitely be making more !!!
