Wynyard Dress - Tester Round Up
The Wynyard Dress is here!!! Your new favourite throw-on-and-go number with just the right mix of relaxed ease and cheeky charm! This design came to life with the help of an incredible group of testers who put it through its paces, from weekday errands to weekend lounging.
With its square ruffle neckline, mega snack-ready pockets, and breezy, closure-free fit, the Wynyard is all about effortless style. Inspired by Sydney’s Wynyard station, where workwear meets sneakers and comfort is queen, this dress is a little ode to everyday ease without skimping on personality.
A huge thank you to my testers for their thoughtful feedback and inspired makes. The Wynyard wouldn’t be what it is without their creativity and care. I’m so excited to share their versions with you. Each one shows just how versatile this pattern can be, and I can’t wait to see how you’ll make it your own.

The amazing Denie from @deniemakes (who just welcomed her baby girl during testing; yep you read that right!), sewed up this amazing version. She showed us how she wears it with the tie cinching the waist and without. She’s stunning and we were all amazed how she got this sewn while welcoming her cute baby!
