Huon Shirt and Dress sewing Pattern PDF

View A is a hip-length shirt and View B is a knee-length dress.

Both views feature a dropped shoulder, hidden button placket, and generous gathers at the neckline and back yoke. The band collar and cuffs are closed with a loop and button and the buttonholes in the hidden placket are sewn separately for a no stress experience!

The dress features our special inseam pocket and optional belt, and both views can be sewn with a short sleeve that uses our unique sleeve band application, or with a long sleeve that features a hidden placket and full gathers at the wrist.

Choose a flowy fabric to bring out the soft, romantic vibes of this piece or a crisp, lightweight fabric for a more dramatic silhouette

We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Huon region, the Mouheneenner, Nuenonne, Mellukerdee and Lyluequonny people and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Cup sizes
Where cup sizes have not been stated it's because the pattern is dart-free and has been designed to be 'cup-size flexible'. If you're unsure about what size to use, you can always email your measurements to help@munaandbroad.com for specific sizing advice.

Finished Garment Measurements:

(see size chart in images)

Fit Expectations: This shirt is designed to have a large amount of design ease. The yoke is designed to sit on top of your shoulder.

Muna and Broad patterns are designed with large bodies in mind and we’ve ensured there’s room for you. Because of this, there’s no need to “size up”

Leila has a 50" (127cm) Full Bust and a sewing size D Cup (4" between upper and full bust) I have a 48.5" (123cm) Full Bust and a C Cup (3" difference). The Huon is designed with an oversized fit and no bust dart, and will work as-is on a variety of bodies, regardless of cup size and is designed with a 4" difference between the full and upper bust. As always, we do recommend toiling the pattern before cutting in to your 'good' fabric.

Suggested Fabric:

This pattern is designed for use with a variety of lightweight woven fabrics. Lightweight linen, linen blends, cotton lawn, cotton voile, tencel, cupro, viscose crepe, silk noil, silk charmeuse, crepe de chine, georgette, or rayon challis would all be appropriate.

As with most garment sewing, we do not recommend the use of quilting cottons. This is especially important for the Huon, which required lightweight drape for the gathers.

The Huon Shirt will look great with over our drapey Willandra Pants and our tapered, side-pocketed Sculthorpe Pants. Or wear your shirt over our wide-leg Noice Jeans or Glebe Pants. Try wearing it unbottoned as a duster over a Nullarbor Cami.
