Upton Dress Cashmerette

The Upton Dress is a wonderful versatile “fit and flare” dress that can be dressed up for an evening out or dressed down for a day at work.
The pattern comes with a rounded neckline or a v-neck. I modified my bodice to a square which is my preference. If you have an interest in changing or modifying the neckline Jenny @ Cashmerette has instructions on her blog on how to do so.
The pattern also provides choice of skirt either pleated or gored. I chose gored.
Instructions are also provided for adding a bodice lining. I omitted the lining because I used an opaque cotton lawn and was able to quickly finish the seams with my serger and bias tape.
I made a straight size 12 C/D without any alterations. Bodice sizing is based on chest and cup size. I love this! I didn’t need to do a FBA or small shoulder adjustment. The bodice fits my chest without any neck gaping.
