Pattern Scout Flora Tank and Dress

Buy the Flora Tank and Dress sewing pattern from Pattern Scout. Flora is an easy summer tank or dress with a series of wide tucks across the bodice and a flowy skirt. Simple straps tie at the shoulders to customise the neckline fit, with the choice of narrow spaghetti-style straps or wider straps for a more bra-friendly option. Versatile enough to wear as a casual day dress, date night outfit, or swimsuit cover-up, Flora will be your go-to summer frock.

Version A is a cropped tank. Version B is a mini dress (hemmed above the knee). Version C is a midi dress (hemmed above the ankle).
