This silhouette whispered elegance. Now you can sew it to fit you.

There’s a reason people still talk about Audrey Hepburn’s skirt from Roman Holiday like it changed the course of fashion history.

Because it did.

Simple in appearance—a full A-line skirt paired with a crisp white blouse—but unforgettable in its impact.

It wasn’t just a costume. It was a statement: elegance without excess, freedom without losing form, and the collar~femininity with a modern edge.

And now, inside the Blender Module of Design Secrets, that iconic look is yours to study, sew, and shape to your own proportions.

🧵 Design Secrets: The Blender Module #3

This module focuses on one of the most foundational skills in flat pattern adjustments: blending sizes across a multi-sized patterns for a better fit.

It’s common for a sewist’s bust, waist, and hip to fall into different sizes—and the Blender Module shows you how to adjust the grading of a pattern between sizes, so you don’t have to settle for gaping, pulling, or extra volume where you don’t want it.

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Identify the correct size for each key measurement
✅ Mark bust, waist, and hip points from different size patterns
✅ Blend those size lines using a french curve
✅ “True” your seam lines so everything matches up cleanly

It’s an essential starting point for adjusting fit with confidence—and it’s paired with one of the most beloved skirt silhouettes in fashion history.

👗 What You’ll Sew: The Roman Holiday Skirt + Crisp Collared Blouse

The patterns exclusive to this module are directly inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s unforgettable ensemble:

• The A-Line Skirt — Classic, graceful, with clean waist shaping and beautiful movement

• The Crisp White Blouse — Rolled sleeves, soft collar, structured enough for daywear but relaxed enough to feel like you

Together, these pieces offer both elegance and adaptability—ideal for advanced sewists looking to refine fit and proportion.
