Buy the Cortney Top and Dress sewing pattern from Marsha Style. It has all that puff sleeve goodness we are loving right now. The pattern comes with two sleeve options, one with pleats at the sleeve head and the other with no pleats or gathers at the sleeve head. The sleeve is designed to be off the shoulder and may require an adjustment if you prefer your sleeve to sit on the shoulder. The sleeve opening is voluminous and finished with an elastic casing. Cortney has a band collar and a wide, long front placket that can be buttoned closed or worn open to create a deep V.

Both the top and dress are oversized and voluminous. It is recommended to check the finished measurement chart when deciding what size to make in case you prefer a neater fit. The top can be worn out or tucked in. The dress can be cinched in at the waist with a waist tie if desired. And of course there are pockets!

Love this pattern

I’m such a fan of the #AntheaBlouse it had to take something special to come along to knock it of the top spot. Here she is #CortneyDress @MarshaStyles is also as amazing.

We booked a last minute holiday and as usual my sewing brain went into over drive and I wanted to sew all my Summer fabrics. My son bought this Liberty fabric for my birthday last April and I knew it was waiting for something special. It’s called ‘Sunshine’

Leaving everything to the last minute I was hesitant about making the placket but I had seen Taree had a sew along on here website so I followed her fabulous instructions and worked out perfectly.

I had the perfect buttons from the cut on pair collaboration with pigeon wishes.

I also had enough for the dress and I added 4 inches to the length.

Love Love Love

If you love big sleeves, you'll love this dress

Before you get into my review, full disclosure, I was a part of the testing group for this pattern and so had early access to it. I was not paid,  incentivised or obligated in any way to post this review, or any others. I am writing my honest review because I genuinely love this pattern!

And I do really love it! The sleeves in version A are a reason in its self to make this dress. The volume they have is phenomenal as a result of the sleeve pillow in the pattern.. that name made me chuckle. Anyone else?

The dress itself has a great relaxed shape. Its a super comfy summer dress to wear. The dress does have a lot of ease in it so I would recommend anyone making it check the final garment measurements. I size down a whole size from my other Marsha Style makes and still have lots room.

Since making this first dress, I have made another already with the addition of the Marsha Style Leila skirt on the bottom... this is my dream dress ....
