Want your own L’Wren Scott-inspired English Tutor Dress? I’ve made an “English Tutor Dress Kit” available for free download. The kit comes with the patterns for the collar, sleeves, and cuffs, which you can use with Simplicity 2473. (Obviously for copyright reasons I can’t post the whole pattern.) The kit is currently available in Simplicty size 4 (corresponds to RTW 0-2, or Burda 32.) If you know how to draft, it should be easy to grade it up if you need a larger size.
As always, keep in mind that I am not a professional or expert drafter. Use my patterns at your own risk, and don’t skip the muslin!

Darling, I love you. You are adorable and the dress is divine and forgive me if anyone has made this next comment already, but it’s English Tudor, not Tutor.
Here’s some info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_period
Best Wishes

I’m wrong. I get what you’re going for. I teach Costume History and my mind automatically jumps to the past. Sorry. You’re still adorable and the dress is still divine. :P

No worries ;) After I named the dress, it occurred to me that that’s what it sounded like too. Unfortunately English Tudor fashion probably isn’t too practical for my daily activities! That’s amazing that you teach costume history though– sounds like a dream job.
