The Details

Aisling and Asteria both feature square necklines with an optional collar. The bodices are shaped with bust darts and you can choose whether you’d like a full button-down bodice or have it cut on the fold.

The Aisling Blouse lightly flares out in an A-line shape from the bust down. The long blouson-style sleeves end at the wrist with a comfortable elastic hem — gathered enough for a little drama while still making them the perfect everyday sleeve.

Wear Aisling tucked into high waisted skirts for a chic office look or free flowing with a pair of skinny jeans for the weekend. Versatile and comfortable, Aisling will become a key wardrobe piece for many years to come.

 

The Asteria Dress is a short sleeved, semi-fitted dress from the bust down, shaped with ties at the natural waist. Generous pockets are neatly integrated into the side seams of the box-pleated skirt. Full of whimsy, comfort and all the things you want in a stylish day-to-day dress, Asteria will keep you coming back season after season.

 

Multiple Bust Cups

Both the Aisling Blouse & Asteria Dress now come in both the Original and Curve sizes individually, or in an economical bundle option where you can access both size ranges together, from sizes 6 to 34 with A to F cups.

You can find the new sizing information here, including how to choose your cup size.

Included in the instructions are a full set of Finished Garment Measurements, simply compare these to a similar garment you already like the fit of (or know you want to alter) and most of the hard stuff is done before you even cut out your pattern.

Both patterns are drafted for an average height of 170cm or 5’7″

 

Skill Level

Aisling is aimed at confident beginner to advanced seamstresses.  Techniques include set-in sleeves, buttonholes (V1), elasticated sleeve hems and an optional collar.

Asteria is aimed at intermediate to advanced seamstresses.  Having several garments under your belt will make construction easier. Techniques include a box pleated skirt, set-in sleeves, buttonholes (V1) and an optional collar.

 

Fabric Options

The Aisling Blouse is suitable for a wide range of lightweight woven fabrics with some drape. Choose any of your favourite fabrics from cotton lawn, voile and poplin to linen and chambray. Rayon, silks and sheer fabrics would make a lovely dressy Aisling Blouse.

Asteria can be made with a number of different fabrics from summer-ready linens, rayons and lawns to heavier fabrics (for the perfect winter dress layered over long sleeves) such as pinwale cord, denim and barkcloth. Asteria has you covered come summer rain or winter snow.
