The Lichen Duster is a versatile sewing pattern that serves as a lightweight coat, wrap dress, or robe, making it an essential addition to your capsule wardrobe. Featuring a chic shawl collar, elegant princess seams, unique pockets, and four skirt gores, it’s designed to be a beautiful heirloom piece.
Style it effortlessly over dresses, jumpsuits, or casual jeans and tees. You can use your favorite belt or the included fabric belt, elegantly tucked in, for a polished look from morning to evening. With options for a sweeping high-low hem or a straight hem, the Lichen Duster can be adapted for any season, depending on your fabric choice.
This sewing pattern is unlined and constructed with front and back facings of the same fabric, allowing for a sleek finish. For optimal all-season wear, we suggest using mid-weight linen or yarn-dyed cotton. More experienced sewists can explore mid-weight wool or luxurious silk velvet.
The pattern accommodates sizes 0-30 and is ideal for intermediate sewists. If you’ve tackled our Hinterland Dress, you’re ready to create the Lichen Duster. It’s a fantastic way to practice essential techniques such as shawl collar construction, French seams, and hand-finishing. Plus, we offer a detailed Sew-Along to guide you through the process!
Each pattern comes with an instruction booklet and printed tissue pieces inside a beautifully designed, lightweight cardboard box, making it perfect for display in your shop.
