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

Last year, Giulia walked into the studio one day wearing this adorable new dress. It had such a simple yet elegant design, and the silhouette immediately caught my eye. Inspired by its loose-fitting charm, we decided to adapt the same style into an Oliver + S pattern. (Honestly, I’m still itching to create a similar dress pattern tailored to my own measurements!) To make things more interesting, instead of sticking to just one fabric like Giulia's dress, we played around with the idea of adding seams and a yoke. This allowed us to incorporate special fabrics or perhaps even some embroidery. And voila! That dress eventually became our latest Hide-And-Seek Dress pattern. One of the things I adore about this pattern is how it comes together. Once you start working on it, you'll understand what I mean. For View A, we incorporated seams at the front and back, along with some welt pockets. Believe it or not, these welt pockets are surprisingly easy to sew despite their intricate appearance. The dress also features relaxed three-quarter-length sleeves with cuffs, giving it a modern and charming vibe. Now, take a look at this image below. It showcases View A beautifully: [Insert Image] This dress is designed to be loose-fitting and relaxed, so it's not meant to be form-fitting. Keep that in mind when you're sewing it. You’ll notice that the sleeve seams don't sit directly on the shoulders—this oversized style is intentional. One great thing about this dress is that it can grow with your child. As they get taller, the dress naturally transitions into a tunic, ensuring plenty of wearability. View B offers the same relaxed style but as a tunic with short sleeves and no pockets. It pairs wonderfully with leggings, skinny jeans, or even over a skirt. Super cute, right? Plus, the sleeve lengths are interchangeable between the two views, offering endless styling possibilities like a short-sleeved dress or a three-quarter-length tunic. Check out this image for View B: [Insert Image] Both the dress and tunic come with my favorite V-notch neckline and a back button closure. Buttonholes might seem intimidating, but trust me—they’re straightforward. In fact, next week I’ll share another version of this dress I made for S, complete with colorful buttonholes that blend perfectly with the fabric used for the yoke. Take a peek here: [Insert Image] Theresa actually hand-painted the fabric for the yoke on this dress, and if you'd like, I can have her walk you through her technique so you can try it yourself. While selecting fabrics and trims, I recalled this particular dress that had been pinned countless times. It inspired me to experiment with fringe trim for our version too. It’s undeniably darling, though I admit the photo left me questioning the placement of the girl's arms! If fringe isn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry—I used smaller, more subtle trim in S’s version. Of course, this dress and tunic would look equally lovely in a single fabric, just like Giulia’s original. I have a soft spot for relaxed-fit dresses and tunics, and I can’t wait to see what you create with this pattern. It’s currently available in both paper and digital formats.
