Your grandma, but like, hip.

Cottagecore is an internet aesthetic popularised by adolescents and young adults celebrating an idealized rural life. Originally based on a rural English and European life, it was developed throughout the 2010s and was first named cottagecore on Tumblr in 2018.

These are both made using the Fable Dress pattern from Twig and Tale and are made from pinwale corduroy to wear during the colder months. The mustard yellow bits on the rust coloured dress are ties and the pockets. I have made this dress at least 6 times, er, maybe 7?

It looks so comfy! By the 6th (or 7th!) time you must be pretty fast at making these. It's nice to get all the fitting and alterations worked out so you can just sit down and sew a pattern.

I'm trying to sew a similar dress designed for jersey, but I went with an amazingly soft rayon jersey which is a nightmare to work with. I thought it would be nice for summer and then I could layer my knit sweaters and shawls over it in winter. Yeah..I've set it down for months now. I admire that in the time I've been procrastinating... you're actually making something! Good job!

Thank you! Yes, they're very comfy, my Autumn and Spring uniform basically. I hate sewing really thin or slinky jersey, no matter what I do it ends up munched on by the machine. Me and my habits are better suited to sturdier fabrics anyway! I hope it turned out for you in the end.
