Liesl + Co Marais Knit Dress and Top

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.
