A New Pattern. Meet Pia.


Meet Pia - our newest Tessuti pattern! This pull-on dress is designed with extended shoulder sleeves and exaggerated pockets. The comfortable, flattering style is shaped without being fitted, and features a wide flared skirt allowing it to be worn loose or belted. The Pia Dress is a simple, classic design suitable for all body shapes. Recommended fabrics include linens, medium weights cottons and lightweight wools.

My version (above) is made up in Wainscot Navy - Vintage Wash Linen

Thea's version (above) is made up in Sand Hill Como

 Lisa's version (above) is made up in Wainscot Black - Vintage Wash Linen

 Other suitable fabrics for the Pia Dress include:
The Pia Dress is now available in both hardcopy and print-at-home/print copy shop PDF versions. All sizes (Aus XS, S, M, L and XL) are included in the pattern together with sewing instruction booklet with colour photos.

What do you think? We hope you'll love Pia as much as we do.

    Lovely - I really like the extended shoulders that form a mini sleeve. The dress looks very smart belted too, a really versatile dress!
