Inject a little bohemian glamour into your wardrobe with the Nicks Dress! With soft gathering and delicate details, it's satisfying to make and a pleasure to wear.

The dress features a loose-fitting V-necked bodice with a gently gathered shoulder and back. The slightly puffed sleeve is gathered at the shoulder; choose between a short sleeve, or a long sleeve with wrist pleats for shaping and an elastic gathered cuff. The neckline is finished with a neat bias binding which is complimented by the delicate rouleau button loops at the centre front. We've included covered buttons with this kit for an extra special touch, which really enhance the beautiful fabric.

As well as being effortlessly stylish with its gathered tiered skirt, the Nicks Dress ticks the comfort box too with its easy-to-fit elasticated waist. We've also included advice on shortening your Nicks Dress for a more everyday look.

What makes this kit extra special is the limited edition EcoVero™ viscose fabric which has been designed by Lauren Guthrie in collaboration with Rachel Parker to celebrate guthrie & ghani's 10th birthday. Full of beautiful, colourful flowers and foliage, chosen by Lauren for their special meaning and connection to the g&g story, the 'Bee Happy Blooms' print truly evokes the joy of spring!

This kit includes enough fabric to make the long sleeved, full length version of the dress. If you would prefer to make either of the top views (B or C), please see our separate Nicks Top kit listing below.

Fabric

Our exclusive Bee Happy Blooms EcoVero™ viscose is available in three gorgeous colours: Ecru, Teal and Navy

The print was created by Lauren in collaboration with surface pattern designer Rachel Parker. It is full of details which represent important elements of Lauren's life and the g&g story, such as plants with her children's names, the Lauren Peony and a cute little bumble bee. The print has been produced especially to celebrate the 10th birthday of the guthrie & ghani business, so that our lovely customers can be part of this big celebration. To find out more about the design process - check out this blog post and video (from 3rd April).

The EcoVero™ viscose fabric that Bee Happy Blooms is printed on is a beautifully soft, plain weave base that gives a smooth finish with the gorgeous drape and movement you would expect from a viscose fabric.

EcoVero™ viscose is a more sustainable fibre due to the unique methods used for its production. The fibres are derived from sustainable wood sources and the manufacturing cycle has been developed to drastically reduce the environmental impact compared to traditional viscose production.
