Meet Irie, a playful and easy-to-wear playsuit designed for warm days, holidays, and relaxed everyday dressing. With its loose A-line silhouette and softly gathered side ruffles, Irie has plenty of movement while still keeping a clean, modern shape.
The front features a simple round neckline and flattering princess seams that run through the body of the playsuit. Gathered ruffle panels at the sides add a feminine detail and extra volume without making the garment feel overly fussy.
The back is the statement feature of the design, with a deep plunge neckline finished with wide tie straps that fasten into a bow across the middle of the back. The neckline and armholes are cleanly finished with bias facing for a neat, professional result.
Designed for woven fabrics, Irie works beautifully in lightweight to medium-light fabrics with a soft drape, such as linen, linen blends, cotton, cotton lawn, poplin, chambray, rayon/viscose, or similar woven fabrics.
The relaxed construction and straightforward sewing techniques make this pattern beginner friendly, while the distinctive back and gathered side details create a finished garment that looks much more special than its difficulty level suggests.
