Harper is where old-world simplicity meets modern elegance. Inspired by the Edwardians bloomers this design brings a fresh twist to their timeless refinement with a comfortable paper bag waistband, elasticated at the back and cinched with a drawstring at the front. Crafted from a single pattern piece with no side seams, Harper flows effortlessly with clean, fluid lines.
Its charm lies in the thoughtful details: delicate pintucks near the ankles add texture and a poetic touch, while adjustable ties at the hem create a soft, billowy, romantic silhouette. Both practical and sophisticated, Harper offers lasting comfort and effortless style.
Paired with the Holly top, it makes for an elegant, laid-back set — a perfect blend of heritage, modernity, and freedom of movement. Ideal for lounging at home or exploring the world.
Available in two size ranges from size 0 to 34, it ensures an optimal fit for all body types.
FABRIC:
- Beginner level: Choose a stable, lightweight fabric like cotton poplin or linen, with a weight between 115 g/m² and 150 g/m². This will make it easier to sew the pintucks.
- Intermediate level: You can opt for a more fluid, drapey fabric like Tencel, a linen/Tencel blend, or viscose — but linen suits this design beautifully too! ;-)
