Austin Dress by Grainline Studio
All products by Grainline Studio
The Design
Austin is a semi-fitted sleeveless dress with armhole darts and a keyhole opening at the center front. Customize the Austin with your choice of a knee length A-line or midi-length gathered skirt and add optional patch pockets to carry snacks for you (and your furry friends!). Topstitched seams and button band closures at the side seams add both function and interest.
Techniques involved include sewing a straight seam, darts, hemming, topstitching, applying bias facing, inserting buttonholes and attaching buttons.
Recommended Fabrics
Light to medium weight woven fabrics such as cotton poplin, chambray, denim, linen, linen blends, rayon, and rayon blends. Extra fabric may be needed to match plaids, stripes, or one-way print designs.
