You can add a shelf bra into any option and turn it into a workout top, swimsuit\/rashguard, or just to go braless\/give more support for the bust. You can sew up a top or dress perfect for any weather with all the sleeve options.  You can also choose from a higher crew neckline or a lower jewel neckline on any option.  This pattern also works well for maternity wear (I just recommend grading out the front piece at the waist to accommodate bump).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptions Include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Hem Lengths: Crop, Top, Shirt, Mini, Knee, Midi + Maxi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Sleeve Options: Tank, Short, 3\/4, + Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Neckline Options: Higher Crew, Lower Jewel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Shelf Bra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrop, Top, Shirt Only: Tie Side Seam Option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidi, Maxi Only: Side Seam Leg Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Ruched Top \u0026amp; Dress Pattern is drafted for light-to-medium weight knit fabrics with at least 30% horizontal stretch. Fabrics that have good recovery will work best for this pattern so it doesn’t end up “sagging” after wear. Fabrics that are more stable will show gathering\/ruching more.  The fabrics with more drape will not show the gathering as much and the center back and front will drape down in a curve (also a cute look).  The shelf bra must have high stretch knit fabrics like swim, athlethic, or high quality cotton spandex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecific Fabric Suggestions:\u003c\/b\u003e Ribbed knits, cotton spandex, cotton jersey, modal\/rayon\/bamboo with good recover, sweater knit, waffle knits with good recovery, swim knit, athletic knits, double brushed polyester, DTY, ITY,  etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a \u003ca href=\"\/ruchedtopdress-roundup\"\u003eround up blog\u003c\/a\u003e of all shapes and sizes wearing this pattern!
