The Sea Set is a matching summer set built around one idea: genuinely comfortable to wear, but still made to flatter. Everything about the fit is built around an hourglass. The Wavy Blouse is relaxed and slightly cropped, ending just below the waistband of the short. No showing of skin but high enough to keep your waist visible. The Sandy Short is high-waisted, hugging your lower back and waist, then moving slightly outward so your legs have room to move. Together they draw that natural hourglass line: comfortably fitted where it flatters, easy everywhere else.
Pattern difficulty
Beginner friendly. The construction uses straightforward seams, gathering, an elasticated waistband, and buttonholes. No zippers, no French seams — seams are finished with an overlocker or a zigzag stitch. The full video walks you through every step alongside the booklet.
Fabric
What matters most is how the fabric is woven, not just the fibre. The blouse needs a fabric with body, so the scalloped hem holds its shape. The short needs a fabric with a little natural give, so it slides easily over the hips. Loved fabrics: cotton slub double gauze, linen and linen blends, cotton and cotton blends, (quilted) bedspreads, cotton jacquard. Avoid thin, floppy fabrics like simple gauze, voile, or delicate embroidered fabrics, they won't hold the wave.
