Named Clothing released their Fall Winter collection of sewing patterns on 1st September, and it has already been a wondrous success. The Evolution Theory collection of patterns is designed with a particular focus on the cut, in order to make the garments look interesting, yet natural and effortless.
[caption id="attachment_1334" align="alignright" width="630"] The Named Clothing Evolution Theory collection takes its inspiration from Finnish nature - the crude rocks, coniferous forests and cold water. The colors in the collection reflect this origin; ice blue, pine green and granite grey.[/caption]
The Evolution Theory collection studies the evolution of fashion, and how certain fashion staples became what they are today. For example, what are the details that determine a classic trench coat? The collection combines and transposes details from one garment to another in an interesting and unique way. As a result, there are garments like a blouse with trench coat like details (the Helmi Blouse), a double-breasted jersey dress (Pilvi Coat Dress) and a kimono-inspired tee (Sointu Kimono Tee).
There are nine beautiful new patterns in the Evolution Theory collection, five of which are available in Plus Size fittings, up to a UK size 22 (EU size 50):
Helmi Trench Blouse and Tunic Dress (Plus Size, 2 in 1): This pattern includes two variations: A loose-fitting blouse and a relaxed tunic dress. Both variations have a concealed button closure and an uneven hemline. The blouse has a trench coat-inspired cape, straps with D-rings at the sleeve openings, a rounded shirt collar and vents at the sides. The tunic dress has half-sleeves, a stand-up collar and a curved dolphin hem. This pattern has proved to be so popular we are already out of stock! But more are on their way from Finland so they will be back in stock very soon.
