Sew DIY Eva Tops and Dress

Buy the Eva Tops and Dress sewing pattern from Sew DIY. These semi-fitted tops and sundress feature a square neckline and side bust darts, and are fitted at the back with a combination of narrow elastic and criss-crossed lacing. View A is a crop top that ends at the waistline. View B has a ruffled peplum and ends at the high hip. View C is a dress with a calf-length skirt and ruffle at the hem. The pattern includes A/B, C/D and E/F bust cup options for a customised fit.

This pattern is a hybrid of a traditional pattern that you need to print and a zero-waste style pattern. You will need to print (or project) the front bodice and front facing pattern pieces. The remaining pattern pieces are rectangles that you draw directly on your fabric and then cut out, saving you paper and fabric.

This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:

– PDF (available to download immediately after purchase). What is a PDF?

Note: The pattern includes pieces for the front bodice and front facing only. The remaining pieces are rectangles that you draw directly on your fabric (no pattern pieces needed).
