Florence playsuit sewing pattern

Skill level: Intermediate

Florence is best for intermediate makers, or advanced sewists who want a polished one-piece with strong design lines. The overall silhouette is not fussy, but the bib, yoke, straps, pockets and side zip need careful handling.

For an easier sew, choose a soft cotton or another stable, non-shifting woven fabric. Once you are more confident, sand-washed crepe, satin or silk will give the playsuit a softer, more fluid finish.

If you want to push the 1920s feel further, add beading to the bib or yoke area.

Fabric requirements

• Main fabric: 140 cm / 55 in wide × 150 cm / 59 in
• Fusible interfacing: 140 cm / 55 in wide × 15 cm / 6 in

Use a stable woven fabric if you want the cleanest construction. Cotton is the easiest option and helps the bib, straps and pocket details stay controlled.

For a more luxurious version, choose sand-washed crepe, satin or silk. These fabrics will soften the drape and make the playsuit feel more evening-led, but they need more careful cutting and sewing.

Supplies

• Main fabric
• Fusible interfacing
• Elastic
• Matching thread

Equipment

• Overlocker / serger
• Pins
• Needles
• Fabric scissors
• Paper scissors
• Sizing & fit

Florence is available in UK 4–16 / EUR 32–44 / US 0–12.

Choose your size by comparing your bust, waist and hip measurements to the size chart. Because Florence is a one-piece garment with a dropped waist, check the body length and crotch depth before cutting your final fabric.

All sewing patterns are drafted for a dressmaker’s B cup, so fuller cup sizes may need a full bust adjustment.

Florence is a playsuit pattern with a vintage mood and a sharper line.

The dropped waist gives the silhouette its 1920s pull. The asymmetrical bib top adds the drama. The circular pockets, pin-tucks, ruched waistband and chevron yoke stop the piece from feeling like a simple summer romper.

Make it in cotton for a cleaner, easier sew. Use sand-washed crepe or satin if you want something softer and more glamorous. Add beading if you want to lean into the Art Deco reference.

This is a good project for makers who like detail, but do not want a heavy garment. Light shape. Strong design. Enough construction to make it satisfying.
