Oliver + S Hide-and-Seek Dress

Hello everyone! My name is Mire and I have two daughters. I have been sewing for over twenty years and I sew almost all my daughters’ clothes. I bought my first Oliver + S pattern three and half years ago. The pattern was the Hopscotch pattern. I fell in love with it and wanted to try more Oliver + S patterns. Now I own 38 different Oliver + S patterns and I have sewed all of them at least once.

Choosing a favorite Oliver + S pattern is a challenge. I have a couple of favorite patterns which I regularly sew. In the end I chose the Hide-and-Seek Dress as my favorite pattern.

My first Hide-and-Seek dress was this linen dress. The dress was fairly quick to make and there are some nice details like pockets. I like a Hide-and-Seek dress because it is also great for layering for colder months.

Oliver + S Hide-and-Seek Dress

My daughters like the dress because the fit is loose, perfect for play and climbing trees.

My younger daughter prefers tunics to dresses and I have sewed Hide-and-Seek tunics for her. This tunic is made from knit.

I made this Hide-and-Seek tunic for my niece. She bought the fabric and I sewed it for her.

When I was asked to write about my favorite pattern I had just cut a new Hide-and-Seek dress for summer. The pink chambray is actually a bed linen.

I am sure there will be more Hide-and-Seek dresses. I already have plans for the next one. I want to do some embroidery on the yoke. I already bought lilac linen for the dress.

Thanks for having me!
