It\u2019s finally time to take the wraps off our new spring and summer collection to give you a preview of the line.<\/p>\n

This season, we are releasing three new patterns: two dresses and one blouse and shorts outfit.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

So, without further ado, here we go.<\/p>\n

The Family Reunion Dress pattern is a classic dress featuring pintucked pleats at the front and back, a choice of button tab or ruffle embellishment at the front, and a sweet neckline. The dress has gently gathered short sleeves, our signature hem facing with a sweet topstitched detail, and buttons up the back to complete the look. The dress can also be shortened into a blouse.<\/p>\n

\"Family<\/a><\/p>\n

The Seashore Sundress pattern features button straps, princess seams, and two almost-invisible little pockets at the dropped waist which are perfect for stashing tiny treasures. The smaller of the two size ranges (6m-4) also includes our favorite bloomers pattern.<\/p>\n

\"Seashore<\/a><\/p>\n

The Class Picnic Blouse + Shorts pattern will let you sew a comfortable and cute pair of elastic-waist shorts that include contrast trim, mock-wrap styling, and a faux fly. The matching raglan-sleeve pull-on blouse includes gathers at the yoke, elastic at the shoulders, three-quarter-length sleeves, and wide hems.<\/p>\n

\"Class<\/a><\/p>\n

The patterns will be available in stores worldwide and on our website during the first full week of April. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to be notified when the patterns become available. Wholesale customers can place pre-orders now by downloading the form from our Wholesale page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
