From Jennifer Lauren:
The Kinfolk Dress has 40s bohemian style at its heart. Part kaftan, part-wrap style dress, slip Kinfolk over your head and wrap the front waist ties around to the back to cinch in the silhouette however you please.
With princess seam shaping from the shoulder down over the bust, a crved panelled centre front bodice and 6 gored skirt, Kinfolk is your everyday throw-on dress that will take you from beach coverup to BBQ dinner in no time. Construction is a breeze with no fastenings and casual grown-on sleeves. A gentle rounded neckline and in-seam pockets are paired with a pretty A-line shaped skirt, falling to just below the knee. Plenty of ease is included at the waist and hips, and an optional step is included at the end to add elastic into the back waist seam to help keep gathers even underneath the ties during wear.
Kinfolk evokes the best part of breezy summer gatherings in the woods. Make Kinfolk in light linen or broidery anglaise and you’re sorted for midsummer nights around the bonfire. Equally, made up in light denim or chambray styled with sneakers and you’re ready to hit the pavement for weekend outings with your own kinfolk.
Recommended Fabrics: Kinfolk is suitable for a wide range of light- to mid-weight woven fabrics with some drape. Cotton lawn, voile and poplin to linen, tencel, light chambray or denim, as well as double gauze, sateen and seersucker are easy to sew with and wear. Rayon, silks, crepes and other slinky fabrics also work well, as does flannel and wool suitings for a heavier garment during cooler weather.
Sizing - Multiple Bust Cups: The Kinfolk Dress includes both the Original and Curve size ranges. The Original includes sizes NZ 6-24 with A to D cup bodices, and the Curve includes sizes 16 to 34 with C to F cup bodices.
