Frankie top and dress

Nicely cut Breton style pattern with dress options (two lengths) and four sleeve variations . Quick to sew together, 2 hours or less should give you a finished top but the PDF is 40+ pages and takes a while to stick and trace. Very neat finishing on the neck line combining a facing, stabilising clear elastic and turning the fabric edge. Instructions are comprehensive and beginner friendly but the seam allowances do change according to what is being sewn so you do need to watch out. The hardest parts are sewing clear elastic and double stitch hems. I did modify the side seams and shorten the length- the original pattern has more of a swing shape. Very wearable top with especially nice fitting at the neckline. More details about fabric usage, length, alterations and other Breton style top ideas on my blog!
