A quietly striking piece with a practical edge, the Cassatt Dress is a button-back smock designed for everyday making and doing. Falling to the knee, it features a slim, high collar and easy 3/4 length sleeves, with three generous front pockets ready to hold all your bits and pieces. Bold topstitching adds a subtle workwear feel, giving this simple silhouette a confident, utilitarian twist.

Suggested fabrics include heavier weight cloths such as linen, denim, cotton, corduroy, wool or tweed, all of which hold the shape beautifully and highlight the topstitching detail. This is a satisfying make with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the process and create something both functional and full of character.
