Papercut Patterns - Axis Dress / Skirt
About the Axis Dress and Skirt
The Axis is Papercut Patterns' ode to Audrey Hepburn. This timeless dress features a vintage-inspired straight neckline and waist ties that can be wrapped around to tie at the front, or fastened at the back to form a plunging back. The Axis is a versatile pattern, as you can choose between a figure-hugging pencil skirt with front split and an equally classic and flattering A-line silhouette. With the option to make either the entire dress or just the skirt from this pattern, you'll have plenty of outfits for your own Breakfast at Tiffany's.
The pattern is in the new Papercut Patterns packaging, which is white (and is thus easier to trace), lighter weight, and made from recycled materials in New Zealand.
