See what our community is making with this month’s Club-exclusive pattern: the Winvale Dress & Tunic.

For me, sewing is about freedom. Freedom to wear styles that others say won’t “work” for my body. Freedom to create clothes that reflect my personality, rather than settling for what’s in stores. So when I set out to create this month’s Club pattern, I wanted to make a super wearable, on-trend style that actually works for my body type. The result? The Winvale Dress and Tunic!

As always, the best part is seeing you make it your own. Whether you go for dark and romantic or bold and playful, the Winvale is a canvas for your style—and these community makes are all the proof you need. Let’s take a look!

About the Pattern

The Winvale Dress & Tunic is a modern take on the classic shirtdress, tailored especially for curves. You’ll fall in love with its thoughtful details, like the swooping hem and the back tie for adjustable waist shaping. Like the name suggests, it has two length options! It also works with the Vernon Shirt, Selwyn Top, and Swanton Blouse for even more ways to play with customization.

The Winvale Dress & Tunic comes in sizes 0–32, and cup sizes C–H, and it’s exclusively available to Cashmerette Club members. Not a member yet? Join today at the All Access level and get the Winvale instantly.

Suzy’s Winvale Dress & Tunic

Suzy shared not one—but two!—fabulous Winvale makes. Her creations show off the pattern’s two length options, as well as Suzy’s incredible style.

Where do we begin? Maybe with the way Suzy played with the direction of the stripes on her tunic. Or, maybe with that peekaboo contrast print on her coral dress’ undercollar! Either way, I’m positively obsessed.

Suzy’s measurements:

• High bust: 33” (85 cm)
• Full bust: 35” (90 cm)
• Waist: 28” (72 cm)
• Hips: 38” (96 cm)

Suzy made a size 6 C/D. Here’s what she had to share:

“So many interesting details that make it an elevated basic. A very well thought out pattern. The other thing is the fit—usually, if I want an oversize shirt it swamps me as I have narrow shoulders and back, but a C/D cup. With the Winvale, the proportions are right.”

Martha’s Winvale Tunic

Anyone else get a jolt of joy, or just me? Martha used cotton shirting to make this stylish Winvale Tunic. I love how Martha’s make looks equally amazing on its own, or layered under a knit sweater. And the bias-cut button placket? Such a lovely touch.

Martha shared that the fit is amazing, and her favorite part of sewing her Winvale was the collar. “This came together perfectly.”

Martha’s measurements:

• High bust: 46” (117 cm)
• Full bust: 50” (127 cm)
• Waist: 47” (119 cm)
• Hips: 60” (152 cm)

Martha made a size 22 C/D graded to a 26 waist and 30 hip, and used the full bicep sleeve.

Bri’s Winvale Dress

Bri’s Winvale is giving romantic, moody, and sophisticated—all at once! And styled with those sheer tights and cognac mid-calf boots? Such a chic moment. I, for one, am taking styling notes.

Bri’s measurements:

• High bust: 40” (102 cm)
• Full bust: 43” (109 cm)
• Waist: 34” (86 cm)
• Hips: 43” (109 cm)

Bri made a size 14 E/F and used the View A sleeve from the Vernon Shirt (which mixes & matches with the Winvale!). She shared:

“I’m so happy with the fit! I’ve never had a woven long sleeved dress fit me so well across the bust, back and shoulders – let alone a shirtdress! I love my Winvale dress so much! It feels like the perfect combination of put together, professional and cottagecore witch.”

Sarah’s Winvale Dress

I get the feeling Sarah will get many wears out of her beautifully versatile Winvale Dress! She used a breathable cotton-linen blend, creating an everyday dress she can throw on without a second thought, and feel great in every time.

She shared:

“Love it. It is able to be worn casually when going into town shopping but also able to be worn to work.”

Sarah’s measurements:

She made a size 10 E/F graded to a 14 in the hips, added pockets from the Upton Dress, and used the cuffs from the Vernon Shirt.

Shelley’s Winvale Dress

Shelley is an absolute vision in her Winvale Dress. With its paisley print, her make looks like a glamorous vintage gem you’d be lucky to stumble upon in a boutique.

Shelley shared:

“The fit is literally perfect. I am obsessed and already planning another.” She also added, “I loved the split button stand. Genius. All button stands should be this way.”

Shelley’s measurements:

• High bust: 51” (130 cm)
• Full bust: 54” (137 cm)
• Waist: 48.5” (123 cm)
• Hips: 60” (152 cm)

Raquel’s Winvale Dress

The colors are gorgeous in their own right. But Raquel’s strategic placement of this border print? Perfection. Raquel’s Winvale Dress is the epitome of joy! And she didn’t just get creative with her design but with her styling, too—wearing it as a dress and a duster.

Raquel’s measurements:

• High bust: 35” (89 cm)
• Full bust: 36.5” (93 cm)

Sinikwe shared that her favorite part of the process was trying her hand at a couple of new techniques. “It was my first time doing a sleeve placket and a split button band.”

And how does she feel about the end result? “I love it very much! I like the fit and am very pleased with it.”
