introducing the hide-and-seek dress + tunic sewing pattern

Last year, Giulia walked into the studio wearing this adorable new dress that caught everyone's attention. It was a simple design, but the silhouette was so elegant that I couldn't help but imagine adapting it into an Oliver + S pattern. I’ve always wanted to create something similar for myself too! We decided to put a twist on the original by adding seams and a yoke to the dress, allowing you to highlight special fabrics or perhaps even add some embroidery. This transformation led to the creation of our Hide-And-Seek Dress pattern. One of the things I adore about this pattern is how straightforward it is to assemble. Once you start making it, you'll understand exactly what I mean. For View A, we incorporated seams at the front and back, complete with welt pockets that, despite their intricate appearance, are surprisingly easy to sew. The dress also features relaxed three-quarter-length sleeves with cuffs, giving it a modern yet charming vibe.  This dress is designed with a loose, relaxed fit—so remember, it’s not meant to be form-fitting. You'll notice that the sleeve seams aren't aligned with the shoulders, which gives the dress its oversized appeal. It’s one of those styles that can grow with your child, transitioning from a dress to a tunic as they get taller. There’s plenty of versatility here! View B offers the same relaxed style as a tunic with short sleeves and no pockets. It pairs beautifully with leggings, skinny jeans, or even over a skirt. And don’t worry—the sleeve lengths are interchangeable between the two views, offering short-sleeve dresses, three-quarter tunics, and more.  The dress and tunic both come with my favorite V-notch neckline and a back button closure. Don’t let the idea of buttonholes intimidate you; they’re simpler than you might think. In fact, next week I’ll share another version of this dress I made for S, where I experimented with colorful buttonholes that matched the fabric used for the yoke. Theresa, our designer, actually hand-painted the fabric for the yoke on this dress. If you're interested in trying it yourself, I’ll ask her to explain her technique. While selecting fabrics and trims, I recalled a dress that had been pinned countless times online. It inspired me to experiment with fringe trim for our version, which turned out to be incredibly darling—though, as one commenter noted, the photo didn’t quite capture the girl’s arms properly! If fringe isn’t your style, don’t worry—I also tried a more subtle trim for S’s dress. You have options! The dress and tunic would look equally lovely in a single fabric, just like Giulia’s original dress. I’m a huge fan of relaxed fits, and I can’t wait to see what you create with this pattern. It’s available now in both paper and digital formats.  In conclusion, whether you opt for bold fringe or a more understated trim, the Hide-And-Seek Dress and Tunic offer endless possibilities. Enjoy experimenting with different fabrics and trims to make this pattern uniquely yours!
