Pattern Fantastique - Magda Dress
About the Magda
The Magda dress is the latest pattern by Australian Indie designer Nita. Her designs are truly unique and reflect her skill and creativity. The Magda is a relaxed and romantic dress that has drawn on elements of medieval garments and modernised them. There's a drop shoulder and full sleeves, with gathers at the shoulder and cuff. The centre front has a V-neck, and this angle is repeated in the front-facing, as well as the bust and skirt yoke. The waistline sits at the high hip with a drawstring to nip in the waist. The skirt yoke is long and narrow to the hip, followed by a skirt panel utilising bias to create a bolder hem flare.
Fit and Length
- The Magda silhouette strikes a balance between soft and angular. The fit is loose enough to pull on, skimming to the high hip with a drawstring waist.
- The amount of ease does give sizing some wriggle room. Provided in the instructions and pattern are finished measurements, including bodice, sleeve & sleeve lengths and ease provided at the bust, true waist, hip and high hip waist seam.
- The skirt length is maxi/ankle. The sleeve cuff finishes at the wrist.
The Fabric
Make the Magda in summer and winter-weight fabrics: linen cotton, lighter corduroy, and denim fabric with a drape suit this style. Very crispy, stiff and papery fabrics do not suit this style.
