Sew Different: Otus Frock

A paper sewing pattern by UK Indie pattern company Sew Different.

The Otus Frock is a romantic, midi length dress that pulls on over the head. Its batwing sleeves gather onto a traditional bib at the front and back. There are two sleeve options – a full length sleeve with a gathered cuff or a shorter, looser sleeve for skipping through the forest. Choose to chop it to the shorter cut-line for a smock look and feel the breeze.
