The Details

With two completely different silhouettes — an A-line style tent dress and a slim-fit variation — Ivy transforms the everyday overall into a feminine and comfy garment with an option for everyone.

Button-down straps can be functional or stitched in place and top stitching can add a subtle or contrasting detail.

Fully lined and with pockets to boot, Ivy is a sturdy little number that is just as at home relaxing on the couch as it is kicking leaves and splashing in puddles. Team Ivy with boots for coffee on the weekend, wellies for digging in the garden or slippers for some fireside knitting action.

 

Sizing

The Ivy Pinafore now comes in both the Original and Curve sizes individually, or in an economical bundle option where you can access both size ranges together, from 6 to 34 with cups A to F. You can find the new sizing information here, including how to choose your cup size.

Ivy is drafted for an average height of 170cm or 5’7″

 

Multiple Bust Cups

Ivy now includes cup sizes A to F, so you’ll no longer need to make additional bust adjustments for the perfect fit.

Included in the instructions are a full set of Finished Garment Measurements, as well as detailed instructions on choosing the right size for your unique shape.

 

Skill Level

Designed for confident beginners through to advanced seamstresses. Learn techniques like inserting darts, top-stitching and how to fully line a garment.

 

Fabric Options

Make Ivy in casual denim or cosy corduroys and wools. Line with light-weight woven fabrics like cottons or anti-static linings (and if you don’t want to fully line your Ivy, check out the tutorial below on how to make an Unlined Ivy).

View 1 would also look gorgeous in floatier fabrics like silks, rayons and even sateen for a glam night out (just add a sparkly yoke, dramatic winged eyeliner and a beehive!).
