Dungarees (Roberts Collection) – Marilla Walker

I knew that I had to make the Dungarees (View B) of  Marilla Walker’s Roberts Collection after making the Dungaree Dress.

I used a mid-weight and soft denim which has a good drape. I like the front trouser pleats as this adds more shape and the functional pockets are fab.

I was not sure whether dungarees would suit me but I like them more than I thought. Although my husband asked me “where is your paintbrush?”. Yes, this is the ‘overall’ look but I am determined to pull it off and look ‘utility chic’!

I had an issue with the fit of the trousers and had to make quite a few alterations especially taking in the front trouser seam. Though it was my fault in cutting a size 3.

As there is quite a bit of ease in this pattern and there is a little stretch in the denim, I was able to remove all fastenings and this was a real time saver.

The Dungarees are casual and comfortable. Do you like the utility look?
