Description

This versatile garment comes in a range of styles with gentle gathering and delicate features, making it both satisfying to create and delightful to wear.

All options showcase a roomy V-necked bodice that drapes loosely with softly gathered shoulders and yokes. The slightly puffed sleeve gathers at the shoulder and comes in a short or long variation with wrist pleats for shaping and an elasticized gathered cuff.

There are also two interchangeable neckline finishes: a simple facing, or a bias-bound neckline with dainty rouleau button loops and buttons. Option A is a button-front dress with a flexible elasticized waist, long or short sleeves, and three gathered tiers for the skirt. Option B is a voluminous swing tunic with a gathered hip tier and long or short sleeves. Option C is a sophisticated blouse with a faced neckline and long or short sleeves.

Fabric Reccomendations
For a flowy effect; rayon challis, viscose, silk crepe, chiffon, charmeuse, or georgette.
