Matchy Matchy Skipper Top and Dress

Buy the Skipper Top and Dress sewing pattern from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club. The Skipper has a relaxed, breezy shape. The fit is loose and boxy, but not oversized. It features a scoop neck and slightly dropped shoulders, giving a mini cap sleeve appearance. The back has a high yoke with a soft, gathered panel. View A is a slightly cropped top designed to hit between the belly button and high hip, View B is a mini dress with patch pockets, and View C is a midi dress with in-seam pockets and side slits. Both dress views create a column-like silhouette.
