Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The Notch Top & Dress features a fun notched neckline with amazingly versatile options. You can create a swim top, workout top, bralette top, everyday crop, or dress all from this pattern. Choose from tank to long sleeves to fit any season. Choose to make it with built in bust support for a bra-free garment or skip if for a quick sew up. The waistband creates a great fitted silhouette for the crop or dress option.
The Notch Top & Dress features a scoop neckline with or without the notch detail. You can choose from a traditional scoop or a lower one (on adult only- great for the bralette or swim options). The tutorial will walk you through adding support for making it great for a bra-free top or dress. Or you can skip all that for a very quick sew up. It is very fitted through top and will give some support even without any of the extra support that is optional. The tight fit works great for layering under things, but since this top is lined on both bodice and waistband it is a great top on it’s own as well. The lining gives you another layer, which can give comfort in a tight fit garment. The dress fits tight through bodice and flares out at the skirt for a classic and flattering fit.
