The Camille Dress is the latest addition to the Dovetailed London sewing pattern range and is currently exclusive to Love Sewing magazine. In this their extra-special 100th issue, the full instructions and a link to the digital pattern of this dress is available.
I chose to make the Dorothy dress, an straightish tunic with patch pockets, a boat bracket and bell sleeves. For me, it's the right balance between casual and dressed up.
