Liesl + Co Marais Knit Dress and Top

Liesl + Co

£14.50 – £21.50

Buy the Marais Knit Dress and Top sewing pattern from Liesl + Co. This semifitted dress and top pattern is easy and quick to sew. The strategically placed seams and included cup sizes will allow you to get a nice fit, and the V neck at both the front and back reveals just a little skin without exposing too much. The pull-on styling eliminates any buttons or zippers. Sew it as a dress (maybe you’d like to take it out dancing?) or a more stylish version of a tank top.

Suggested fabrics: This pattern works best with light- to medium-weight knit fabrics like cotton jersey, French terry, lightweight ponte di Roma, and interlock.
