Sew Over It Alderley side slit dress hack

When I was on a mission to find a cami top pattern with a bust dart that I liked I stumbled across the Sew Over It Alderley top. Considering Sew Over It are one of the biggest UK pattern companies, I was surprised to see that it only had 12 uses of the hashtag on instagram. I’ll admit, this made me a bit dubious to buy it as it does make you wonder why no one has made it but I decided to anyway as I trust Sew Over It’s ability to make a good pattern.

Well, I’m happy to report that I have absolutely no idea why barely anyone has posted this top on instagram as I am 100% into this pattern. I can only presume it is because there are quite a few cami patterns out there but the bias bound neckline on this one sets it apart from the others. I love it!

I hacked it into a dress with side slits (keeping the french seams, it is possible!) and wrote about how I made it on my blog. You can read be full review with instructions on how I hacked this here.
