Celebrating 10 years with the Hazelton Wrap Dress

It’s 10 years since the launch of the Appleton Wrap Dress, our very first pattern (how time flies!) so it feels only fitting that this month we’re introducing the Hazelton Wrap Dress from Cashmerette Club. Yes, it’s another knit wrap dress with zero gaping – naturally, we are Cashmerette after all – but with a completely different retro vibe. We incorporated all the things we’ve heard you asking for over the years: a full skirt, classic collar, fold-back button cuffs, and YES, finally, pockets.

The Appleton is still one of our most popular patterns, and honestly, that’s no surprise. Wrap dresses that don’t gape at the bust are such a phenomenally good look on curvy bodies, and they’ve become a go-to in so many of our wardrobes, mine included.

So when I started thinking about what wrap dress to give you next, I knew it had to be something special. The Hazelton delivers all the confidence-boosting, flash-free fit you expect from Cashmerette, but with vintage-inspired details that give you a totally new look. And yes, those pockets you’ve been asking for? Consider them officially delivered. Finally! A knit wrap dress with pockets (only took us 10 years).

More from the Club this month

This month’s masterclass tackles one of the trickiest fitting challenges: back crotch adjustments. I’ll teach you how different body parts intersect to create fitting puzzles, covering everything from body length variations to front/back versus side/side proportions. Plus, I’ll show you how the size and shape of your tummy, thighs, and pubic area all impact crotch fit. It’s complex territory, but I’ll break it down into manageable steps so you can finally sew pants that fit well.

Join me on November 14th at 3pm ET (12pm PST / 8pm GMT / 7am Nov 15th AEST) for an exclusive interview with the legendary Susan Khalje! Known worldwide for her expertise in couture techniques, Susan will be sharing her professional tips and techniques that you can apply to patterns like our latest Collection pattern, the Ellington Strapless Dress. Whether you’re new to couture methods or looking to refine your skills, this is a rare opportunity to learn from one of the industry’s most respected teachers.

So much has happened in the past 10 years, and my team and I have learned so much along the way. One thing’s never changed though: we’re all about perfecting fit for big boobs, and we’re still the #1 fans of wrap dresses! We hope you enjoy the latest addition to our collection as much as we do.
