Why you’ll love sewing London Reign

A polished dress with strong details

London Reign has the shape of a classic pencil dress, but the sleeves, pleats, and dipped back neckline give it more personality.

It’s smart, feminine, and easy to style without feeling boring.

Statement sleeves you can control with fabric choice

Choose a fabric with more body if you want the sleeves to hold their shape.

Choose something softer if you prefer a gentler, fluttery effect.

Clear instructions with useful sewing support

The instruction booklet includes step-by-step guidance, diagrams, fabric layout, sizing guidance, and a quick sew list to help you keep track as you sew.

A dress you can actually wear

Style London Reign with heels for an event, or dress it down with trainers for a more relaxed look.

It’s still a pencil dress, but it does not have to sit in the wardrobe waiting for a “proper occasion”.

Fabric recommendations

London Reign works well in medium-weight woven fabrics such as:

• cotton
• lightweight wool

• medium-weight satin
• other stable woven fabrics with enough body for the dress shape

Your fabric choice will affect the final look.

A fabric with more body will help the statement sleeves hold their shape. A softer fabric will create a gentler, more relaxed effect.
