New U.P Dress & Pattern Release!

U.P Dress and Pattern ReleaseWith the Limited Edition dresses in the happy hands of LBDers around the globe, we’d like to address the many requests we’ve been getting for more dresses. We’re thrilled to announce that we are releasing a new U.P LBD in the next couple weeks!
The new dress takes into account all of the feedback we’ve received from you, along with some surprise design features that we think you’ll love. Also, since one of our biggest challenges in producing the Ltd. Edition run was finding the right fabric, we’re developing our own sustainable fabric especially for the dresses. And of course, the dress sales will continue to support our cause for the children of Akanksha.
We are releasing a dress patten as well, so all you seamstresses out there can put your own spin on the LBD. You could even take it to your local tailor for a bespoke version!
To be informed as soon as the dresses and pattern go on sale signup here>
And if you’re already following us on Twitter and Facebook we’ll keep you updated.

I can hardly wait for the pattern! This is going to be a literal godsend for those of us who sew. I may just decide to buy a dress too because I'll be impatient to be wearing it! Then I'll be able to relax and take my time sewing the second one.

Wonderful, I cannot wait, not only will it be for a worthy cause, It will take the thought out of my dressing concerns in the morning.

Will the UP pattern be available in plus sizes? I love this dress, this idea, just everything, and I've been following the project off and on since May '09. And I thought...that is the perfect solution to my wardrobe dilemmas! Then I thought, "I am no designer; how will I get such a dress?" I am an old hand at modifying patterns, but I'm still unskilled in creating them. So...will us Big Girls be able to get this pattern too?

Uniform Project says:
You'll get see to the new dress design very soon, so stay tuned for the release! In terms of the material, the dresses will be made in our very own U.P sustainable fabric. Since we're developing the fabric specifically for our dress from the fibers to the weave to the weight, it will be totally one of a kind and made with sustainable materials and methods. We will have all of the details for you when we release the dress.

Hi there, just wanted to clarify a couple of the pattern Qs ~ The pattern will be released for the new dress, which you'll be seeing very soon. However; since it is a pattern, it's totally customizable and the possibilities for adjustments are endless!

I would like to know what the differences are in fit between the two versions. Also planning to dust off the sewing machine if I can get my hands on a pattern!

I am so excited for this dress release. I missed out on the first release. Will you release a pattern for the first edition though? I've been checking this page every few days in the hope I could attain one ever since I first discovered this blog.
