The dress can be worn loosely hanging around the body or pulled tightly around the waist using the drawstrings. The short sleeve and mini length view offers a bit more of a flirty and thriving vibe, while the long sleeve and midi length view provides that modern day prairie aesthetic that strongly encourages you to run through a field of grass.

Choosing a woven fabric below 7oz or 240gsm will yield the best results not only for your comfort, but also for the construction and enjoyment while sewing. Think airy cottons, soft linens, silky tencel or viscose, or satiny silks. Fabrics with a relaxed drape will create a nice flowing dress while materials with a bit more stiffness will provide a more dramatic, structured silhouette. Due to the nature of this design, there are lots of pattern pieces – lending itself to color and print combos!

A great fit is kind of just built into the design itself because you can cinch in the ties around the waist to your liking! The bottom center front neckline is intended to fall at the bottom of your sternum (the bone ending just below your bust). See notes below for adjusting for your personal height \u0026amp; proportions, as you may wish to shorten or lengthen the neckline to fall at the correct placement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe top row of ties is shaped to fall beneath the bust in a curved fashion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe middle row of ties is designed to hit a bit above your natural waist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe bottom row of ties is meant to wrap around your high hip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe pockets are placed 1” (2.5cm) below the bottom row of ties to allow for the full cinch effect to take place. This may feel a bit lower down than your standard pocket placement, but it is to preserve the beauty of the ~cinch~! The raglan seams have a relaxed fit allowing for a full range of motion – whether you’re apple picking, hailing a cab, or at a dance party, you can move those arms! Both views include a lantern sleeve shape, which means the outer sleeve seam curves away from the body. There is a bottom cuff piece that brings the sleeve shape back in towards the body. Both the short and long sleeve options are slightly oversized in design, giving a bit of a *slouchy* effect in fabrics that drape and a bit of a *structured* volume for stiffer fabrics. For the long sleeve option, the midway front sleeve dart and back sleeve inverted pleats should hit just above your elbow bend. The short mini dress view, well, it isn’t THAT mini. The intended fit is for the hem to fall at about mid thigh. The long midi dress view is intended to fall a bit above your ankle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIf you are between sizes, size down.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAdjusting For Height \u0026amp; Proportions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe pattern is drafted for a 5’8” (172cm) tall person so you may wish the shorten or lengthen accordingly.

The fabric should have a minimum stretch percentage of 50% crossgrain (selvedge to selvedge). Rib knit fabrics often have a much higher stretch percentage. A variety of knit fabrics will work for this pattern, from cotton\/spandex rib knit to viscose\/nylon\/spandex ponte jersey.

You can use a fabric without spandex or elastane but just be aware that the fabric may stretch out throughout the day and you may wish to wash and re-shape the garment each wear. Sweater knits can be a beautiful option if you wish for a more relaxed fitting garment. They tend to be bulkier and have a bit more drape, but also typically do not hold their shape as well - which can be used to your advantage if you prefer a less fitted style. Knits without any spandex or elastane will probably need the straps shortened at the designated point in the sewing process. You may also choose to pair a sweater knit with a standard 2x1 or 1x1 cotton spandex rib for the binding pieces! This will help to hold the style lines of the straps, while letting the rest of the garment fall as it wishes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIf you choose to use a heavyweight knit, like a double knit ponte, the garment may feel tighter around the body.

Overall, due to the nature of the design, the fit is forgiving because it relies heavily on the stretch in the fabric to wrap snuggly around the body. The shoulder straps are intended to cover a standard bra strap, if applicable. The horizontal third strap is intended to wrap across the mid-to-upper chest with the bottom edge of the strap hitting at about the armpit crease. More exact adjustments for the straps will be made during the sewing construction process, so don’t worry too much about nailing those measurements in the size selection! The bottom edge of the center front cutout should land at about mid sternum height. The center back cutout falls a bit higher up on the body and is a slightly smaller hole. The shaping of the garment all comes from the center front and center back seams. These seams can easily be adjusted as you sew up your garment! Although going smaller as you sew it up is much easier than going bigger, so err on the side of caution if you’re worried about wanting the garment less fitted. You might choose to size up and take it in from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eYour fabric choice will play a huge part in how the final garment fits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, so you may end up needing different adjustments for different fabrics. Focus on the overall circumference measurements to get the right fit. The pattern is drafted with negative ease: roughly 8-9” (20-22cm) at the bust, 1-2” (2-5cm) at the waist, and 8-10” (20-25cm) at the hip. The exact amount of ease varies depending on your personal measurements within the range of each size. If you prefer your garments to fit tighter, choose more negative ease (go smaller). If you prefer your garments to fit looser, choose less negative ease (go bigger). If you are between sizes, size up or down according to your desired amount of negative ease. See fabric recommendations for more info on how fabric affects the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSIZE GUIDE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eChoose your size based on your full bust measurement.

Choosing a lightweight, woven fabric will yield the best results not only for your comfort, but also for the construction and enjoyment while sewing. Think of breathable cottons, dreamy voiles, airy linens, and lightweight silks. Fabrics with a relaxed drape will create a nice flowing dress. Lightweight cottons with embroidery and eyelets could be beautiful as well! You may wish to combine these types of cottons with a solid cotton for certain parts of the dress, such as the inside layer, bodice lining pieces, and bias binding. Due to the nature of this design, there are lots of pattern pieces – lending itself to color and print combos! This dress can easily be made combining lots of lightweight fabrics to make your own unique masterpiece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Feeling Loopy Top and Feeling Loopy Mini Crop Top can be made using lightweight to midweight fabrics, although take caution of going to heavy due to the gathering. You may end up with unwanted bulk in the bodice seam if your fabric is too heavy. It is recommended to stay under 6oz or 200gsm for the best results. The top and crop top can be made in a wide range of materials such as shirting cottons, twill linens, silk taffetas, and light-to-midweight jacquards. Play around with mixing fabrics, colors, and prints with the semi-circle pattern pieces on the side of the top view! Or perhaps you could use a contrast material for the wide strap ties?

The fabric should have a minimum stretch percentage of 50% crossgrain (selvedge to selvedge). Rib knit fabrics often have a much higher stretch percentage. A variety of knit fabrics will work for this pattern, from cotton\/spandex rib knit to viscose\/nylon\/spandex ponte jersey.

You can use a fabric without spandex or elastane but just be aware that the fabric may stretch out throughout the day and you may wish to wash and re-shape the garment each wear. Sweater knits can be a beautiful option if you wish for a more relaxed fitting garment. They tend to be bulkier and have a bit more drape, but also typically do not hold their shape as well - which can be used to your advantage if you prefer a less fitted style. Knits without any spandex or elastane will probably need the straps shortened at the designated point in the sewing process. You may also choose to pair a sweater knit with a standard 2x1 or 1x1 cotton spandex rib for the binding pieces! This will help to hold the style lines of the straps, while letting the rest of the garment fall as it wishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIf you choose to use a heavyweight knit, like a double knit ponte, the garment may feel tighter around the body.

Overall, due to the nature of the design, the fit is forgiving because it relies heavily on the stretch in the fabric to wrap snuggly around the upper body. The shoulder straps are intended to cover a standard bra strap, if applicable. The horizontal third strap is intended to wrap across the mid-to-upper chest with the bottom edge of the strap hitting at about the armpit crease. More exact adjustments for the straps will be made during the sewing construction process, so don’t worry too much about nailing those measurements in the size selection! The bottom edge of the center front cutout should land at about mid sternum height. The center back cutout falls a bit higher up on the body and is a slightly smaller hole. The shaping of the garment all comes from the center front and center back seams. These seams can easily be adjusted as you sew up your garment! Although going smaller as you sew it up is much easier than going bigger, so err on the side of caution if you’re worried about wanting the garment less fitted. You might choose to size up and take it in from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eYour fabric choice will play a huge part in how the final garment fits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, so you may end up needing different adjustments for different fabrics. Focus on the overall circumference measurements to get the right fit. The pattern is drafted with negative ease at the bust: roughly 8-9” (20-22cm). The exact amount of ease varies depending on your personal measurements within the range of each size. If you prefer your garments to fit tighter, choose more negative ease (go smaller). If you prefer your garments to fit looser, choose less negative ease (go bigger). If you are between sizes, size up or down according to your desired amount of negative ease.

When a fabric is cut on the bias, a natural stretch is born. To determine if your fabric is suitable for this design, play with it draping on a 45-degree angle! How does it hang? Does it have a nice gentle stretch when pulled across the bias? You want to choose a fabric that hangs nicely when lifted from the corner, creating a handkerchief appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA wide range of materials can work for the Cowl Me Maybe Top \u0026amp; Dress. Use a silk satin for the ultimate luxurious garment or choose an airy cotton or linen for a daytime look with the same class and sophistication. Fabrics with more weight will drape heavier around the body, while fabrics that are lighter weight will create more of a floaty-ness around the body. A crepe or a handwashed linen could provide a nice medium weight option, while a silk chiffon, rayon challis or a handwoven cotton batiste could create a beautiful light weight look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eYour fabric choice plays a huge role in how this garment fits.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Fabrics with excellent drape and a soft stretch when tugged across the bias will result in a comfortable, easeful garment.

Due to the nature of bias-cut garments, the drape of your fabric takes care of quite a lot when it comes to fit! The bust area is the most fitted area of the garment and requires the most attention when it comes to size selection and sewing construction. The B-Cup is dart-less and drapes gently across the front bust section of the body, fitted through armscye and side seam shaping. The D-Cup includes side seam darts allowing for a better fit across the front bust, while maintaining the original design intent. The cowl neck is designed to hit high up on the neck almost creating a mock neck appearance. There are two pleats on either shoulder seam which gently fall into the draped area of the high chest. The cowl neck facing is built on so that it is invisible and effortlessly covers the backside of your fabric. In order for this design to be a casual pull-over-the-head style, the back neckline includes a deeper scooped curve. The bias-cut fabric should allow the neckline opening to gently stretch as you pull this garment on overhead but keep this in mind as you select your size and determine pattern adjustments you may need. (Big head? More braincells? You may want to scoop the back neckline even further down to accommodate your brilliance.) With the full coverage of the shoulders and armscye, wearing a traditional bra should be no problem at all with this design. The back includes two double pointed darts to provide a beautifully fitted waist section and creating a perfect place to adjust if needed. You may choose to eliminate or reduce the size of the back darts if you desire a bit more ease through the back body. The scarf is constructed of a front and back piece, with the back piece hanging much longer than the front and intended to match in length when wrapped around to the front body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe garment is not meant to be fitted snuggly, nor is it meant to be loose. It is meant to casually skim around the body, which is easy with the right fabric cut on the bias!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSIZE GUIDE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eChoose your size based on your high bust \u0026amp; full bust measurement. The bust area is the most fitted part of the garment. If you fall across multiple sizes, you may find it beneficial to grade between sizes for the waist and hip area. Remember this is a bias cut garment which means it will gently wrap around your body as gravity pulls it down! So you may not need to get your waist and hip measurements quite as spot on as with a garment cut on the straight grain. Compare your personal measurements to the finished garment measurements to determine your desired amount of ease.
