Tipa Dungarees – Adult

Description The Tipa Dungarees pattern has been designed for the fit and comfort of women, featuring shaped hips, front and back darts and room for a puku (tummy). It has a relaxed and simple style and can be worn with layered clothing underneath. Play around with fabric drapes to create your desired look. Choose light weight cottons and linens to create a loose bohemian style, or choose stable fabrics like drill or canvas for a traditional structured dungaree. Variations include front and back hip patch pockets, front bib pocket, along with your choice of short or long trouser leg length and turned up cuff for the shorts. Tipa is the Māori name for a scallop. Its shell has a flat top and a rounded bottom, much like our dungaree silhouette.

Fabric Suggestions: Look for light to heavy weight fabrics that can be easily pressed to create nice edges. Main Fabric: Light – heavy weight cotton, chambray, denim, linen, sateen, drill / twill etc. Lining Fabric: Light weight cotton, poly cotton etc. Optional: Small piece of iron on interfacing for button / dungaree button placement, recommended for light weight fabric. Fit and Ease of the Dungarees: The Tipa Dungarees have been created to shape through the hips and tummy with plenty of ease for comfort and underneath layers. When you are choosing what size to create, measure around the hips (the fullest part of hip). Use the hip measurement to determine what size you are in this pattern. This pattern has been created using Standard American Measurements and might seem different to what you usually buy in stores. Therefore, use the size the chart says you are to fit the hips, and if required, lengthen or shorten the dungarees as needed. Since there is shaping through the hip we have also included the “finished high hip” measurement – this is to guide you in feeling confident the sizing will fit you through the hips. Create a toile: We recommend using the front, back and strap pattern pieces with spare fabric to create a toile first as this pattern fits from your shoulder to ankle, there are variations between human proportions within these measurements.
