Super easy, "off the shoulder" dress or top for beginner sewers.
Wear your dress or top to a party or the beach. Use a cotton or rayon for a more casual style or a crepe de chine, silk or satin for a more sophisticated evening look. Dress it up or down with heels or sneakers. So many options!
The pattern comes in sizes 10 years to 16 years (Youth sizing). You can select and print only the size you want using the Adobe Layer feature (detailed "How To" in the pattern instructions).
There is a cap sleeve and 3/4 sleeve option for both the dress and top. This gives you 4 different styles from the same pattern. The fabric and style you choose will provide a range of looks for casual, street or party wear.
