What do you do when you make a dress for yourself based on a crazy idea, and literally every time you wear the dress people comment on it and ask where you got it and wish they could have one?
You turn it into a pattern! Meet the Scroop Patterns Summit Dress!
The Summit Dress is inspired by the Medieval garments excavated at Herjolfsnes in Greenland, but with a modern update that includes roomy pockets, fully machine-sewn instructions, thoughtful finishing details, two necklines, two lengths and two sleeve options.
(but if you are in to historical there are tips for making the pattern in to an accurate version too!)
Plus, the Summit Dress is on sale!
To celebrate the launch, the digital PDF Summit Dress pattern is 15% off at ScroopPatterns.com for the next week. No need for a code: the discount is applied automatically at checkout.
Or, if you are in the US, you can pre-order the paper version at VirgilsFineGoods.com and get 15% off there was well!
View A of the Summit pattern is the most historically based version, with a long skirt, high scooped neckline and very medieval elbow length sleeves with side-back seam and inset gusset.
View B ends at mid-calf, has a lower scooped neckline, and below-elbow length lantern sleeves which echo the structural fullness of the dress.
Mix and match the views for a range of options. Grace is modelling the View B length and sleeves with the higher View A neckline:
But wait, there’s more! Tomorrow I’ll be showing you how to add a dart for a Full Bust Adjustment.
I hope you enjoy making and wearing the pattern just as much as I have!
