All Love Notions Sewing Patterns are digital downloads, you may print them at home or send to a copy shop. A physical pattern will not be mailed to you.
Pemberley Tunic & Dress is inspired by the Regency era. The empire bodice cinches in at the most narrow point under the bust line. This emphasizes the narrowest point and optimizes proportions. Using the recommended fabrics is key in getting a preferred silhouette. The Pemberley is meant for lightweight and drapey knits. It features a shirt-tail hem which gives more vertical emphasis. The tunic also includes four sleeve lengths: short, 3/4, long & bishop. The tab sleeve option is a fun and sophisticated touch to dress up the top. Because it’s so important to get a well-fitted bodice on this tunic, included are two bodice options – average bust and full bust. Also included are instructions to further customize the bodice if needed. This pattern also includes a maternity add-on.

This tunic and dress will be a staple in my wardrobe! Love the tab sleeve touch and how flowy and flattering it is. And it’s super comfy on top of that! Thanks for another great pattern.

This is a lovely pattern. It was the first time I did elastic encased in a top and the instructions were very clear. I love that this top can be made to wear to work or casually and there are many options within the pattern.

This pattern is easy to assemble, and the directions are clear and concise. I have now made two versions, and I plan on several more. The options available make this a great staple for any season. Both of mine are very flattering and I feel very confident when I am wearing them. Definitely worth the investment!

Definitely a favorite pattern of mine! Was slightly concerned in the beginning about it making my mommy belly look worse than it is but it was actually quite the opposite 🙂 I just made sure I stuck to fabric recommendations and all was good.

This is an amazingly flattering shirt. The instructions to add a full bust adjustment were awesome and enabled me to have a gorgeous well-fitting top.

I have been searching high and low to purchase a ladies top with an empire waist option. Low and behold I found this pattern so that I can make my own! Thank you so much for offering this pattern. I’m excited to make several in this style.

I have made this top several times, and it is a favourite of mine. I found the pattern nice and easy to follow, and as with all the Love Notions patterns, the instructions are really clear and easy to follow. I love wearing my Pemberly’s with shorts and jeans. The fit and drape of the Pemberly is very flattering and comfortable to wear.

As always with LN patterns the pattern is simple but well designed. I love the style and look forward to hacking it for a more wintery look 🙂

I love this pattern! The fit is great and it is so comfortable. Both the dress and the tunic were a quick sew. Also the no trim pages are a dream!

Well, I love this pattern, and it was an easy sew. I just didn’t follow the instructions for fabric choice, so I definitely looked like I was expecting. The CL I used was too heavy. I’ll be trying it in a lighter weight fabric next time!

I love wearing this dress in full maxi version and knee length! I always feel like a million bucks when I wear it out-The compliments help but mostly it is how easy the dress is to wear and style for all occasions. The construction is quick and easy, you could easily make one and the same day as you wear it out. I would note that the neckline is a bit wide-it looks beautiful but some styles of bra the straps will show. All in all though I absolutely recommend this dress-you will love it!

This was an easy to follow pattern with a cute empire waist that flatters many different body types. I made the shirt version and it is constantly in my everyday clothing rotation.
