Buy the Flor Dress and Top sewing pattern from Bella Loves Patterns. Flor is a romantic wrap dress and cropped top that is perfect to wear during the warm seasons or layered over a turtleneck in winter. The pattern features statement ruffles inserted into the shoulders, princess seams and wide waist ties.

Flor comes in two styles: a high waisted cropped top and a midi-length dress with a gathered waist and tiered skirt. Both styles are finished with bias binding around the neck and armholes. The dress and top have a high wrap V-shaped neckline.

With no zipper or lining or complex closures, Flor is surprisingly simple to make. The dress option also has in-seam pockets.

Suggested fabrics: Lightweight woven fabrics with some structure (no drapey fabrics). Cotton linen blends for a softer silhouette, or cotton lawns, poplin, voile, broderie anglaise and shirting fabrics for a more structured look. If making the dress version, try to choose a fabric that doesn’t require lining.

Fabric requirements: 140 cm (55″) wide fabric: View A, 1.7 m (1.9 yd) // View B, 3.5 – 4.1 m (3.7 – 4.3 yd).

Sizing: UK 6 – 20 (approx. UK 6 – 18, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer’s size chart and finished garment measurements.

This pattern is drafted for a B cup model who is 165 cm (5’4″) tall.

Patten pieces are also included for C and D cups. Note that cup sizes here do not refer to your bra size, but rather to the difference between your high bust and full bust measurements. If the difference is 5 cm (2″), use B cup. If the difference is 7.5 cm (3″), use C cup. If the difference is 10 cm (4″), use D cup.

If you wish to alter the length, you can use the marked lines to lengthen or shorten the pattern pieces.

Notions: 1 cm (3/8”) wide bias neckline stay tape; 20 cm (8”) of lightweight fusible interfacing; bias binding, if not using the same fabric.
