Ashton top and dress

A review of Helen's Closet Ashton Top

Reviewed by Stepanka on 6th May, 2021

I made a toile from old bedsheets. I wanted to spice it up a little bit so I cut the front piece twice and add a seam allowance.

 

More pictures including “sewalong” on my blog (in the Czech language):

I made size 16 D-Cup according to my measurements and the fit is good. It depends on the bra though. 🙂 The cropped length is perfect for me. The top looks simple but it takes time to construct the facing.

I also made a dress hack which I love. I shortened the bodice by about 3 inches. Add gathered skirt with pockets and belt and a faux placket with vintage buttons (from my grandma’s box).
