I'd been wanting a dungaree/overall dress for ages, but wasn't sure if the style was for me. In the end I decided if I wanted one then I should just make one and enjoy wearing it. So I did and I do!
This is the Tilly and the Buttons Cleo pinafore and dungaree dress. It's possibly the easiest thing in the world to make. I purchased the pattern locally from Maai Design (no affiliation, just a happy customer) as she has great customer service and I like supporting Australian small businesses.
This is a size 6 made up in the midi length from a lovely black linen from Spotlight. My only adjustments were to chop an inch or 2 off until I was happy with the length and to sew down the straps as I didn't need them to be adjustable.
I only include the front patch pocket. I do wish that I'd added jeans style pockets on the front as I keep reaching to put my hands in them. They're not included in the pattern but it wouldn't be difficult to add them.
I'm so glad that I just went for it and made this up as I really love it. Looking forward to following my instincts even more in 2018!
