The Belle Shirt | A Pattern Collaboration with Modern Sewing Co
Made in collaboration with Modern Sewing Co’s marvellous Hetty Adams, this beauty offers a twist on traditional shirting tropes with striking details such as a wide placket, straight point collar and bell sleeves. With clean, clever construction, she’s a dream to sew and a joy to wear, whether you embrace modern minimalism and whip one up in monochromatic linen, or rock a bold print and make a statement shirt – or dress! That’s right, she contains mul- titudes, or at least multiple views. The opportunities are endless.

The Rozelle Slip | A Pattern Collaboration with Stitched for Good
Made in collaboration with Stitched for Good’s Annie Robinson, the Rozelle Slip is a bias-cut beauty – a sophisticated slip dress with wide-set straps to support those whose busty bounty cannot forgo the support of a brassiere. Gathers in the bust and smart darts in the back create a shapely, self-lined bodice, and the bias- cut skirt drapes like a dream – vary the length of your skirt to go from date-night diva to preppy picnic perfection. Just whip up the invisible centre-back zipper and va-va-voom your way to carefree elegance.

The Samford Set | A Pattern Collaboration with Sew to Grow
Made in collaboration with Sew to Grow’s sensational Lindsey Rae, the Peppermint Samford Set is the ultimate in day pyjamas – a loosely cropped, camp-collared shirt that brings the perfect amount of slouch, and a pair of wide-leg pants with front pockets, back pockets and an elasticated waistband that will draw you in with its trim touch. Day pyjamas are a game changer – clothes that are as comfortable as sleepy-time jammies but classy enough to wear outside. Roll out of bed and head straight to brunch wearing your set and people will look at you and think, “Damn, their outfit is so coordinated, I bet they have their whole life together.”
