The Everyday Dress + Top is our idea of the perfect everyday dress and top. Pick between long or short puff sleeves and either a peplum for the top or a tiered midi skirt for the dress. Fitted on the shoulders then loose through the waist, this pattern is the ultimate comfortable, stylish everyday style.
The Everyday Dress + Top is suitable for intermediate sewists or ambitious beginners.
