Buy the Petrichor Pinafore sewing pattern from Sew Liberated. The Petrichor Pinafore is many things: a sundress, a housedress, and a unique all-weather layering piece, thanks to its A-line shape, easy fit, and low armholes. Petrichor provides your body with ease and comfort with a sprinkling of playfulness.
The front is gathered to a yoke, and the back features a box pleat and smaller yoke. The arm edges are finished with bias facings, and deep inset pockets are stitched to the front. View A is a shorter pinafore, and View B is a longer pinafore.

Suggested fabrics: Mid-weight woven fabrics with plenty of drape. Soft, washed linens, linen-rayon blends, and silk noil are all good choices. Avoid crisp cottons such as poplin and quilting cotton, as well as heavier weight fabrics such as canvas, as these do not play well with the yoke gathers.
