The LA Robe Zippee Sewing Pattern by Atelier Brunette is a modern, statement dress designed with clean lines and distinctive detailing. With its relaxed silhouette and adjustable waist, this is a versatile piece that balances structure with effortless wearability.
The design features a 7/8 length that subtly highlights the ankle, along with a charming Peter Pan collar that adds a soft, feminine touch. A full-length zip fastening brings a contemporary edge, while belt loops allow you to personalise the fit using a self-made tie or even a favourite scarf. Short sleeves make it ideal for layering in cooler months or wearing on its own in warmer weather, and discreet in-seam pockets add everyday practicality.
