Carly Dress & Top Kit - Ginger
Carly Dress & Top Kit - Ginger
Dressmaking kit
Carly is a polo style knit Dress & Top pattern that will slot right into your everyday wardrobe. It features a classic polo collar with a collar stand and a button placket, all interfaced for stability. You can add buttonholes and buttons, press fasteners or just omit all closures and wear it open for a relaxed look.
For an extra special touch, the instructions will show you how to enclose the raw edges of the collar section with woven bias binding. This gives a beautiful finish and it’s a great opportunity to add a pop of colour and make use of some woven scraps. You can take it a step further by also binding the edges of the placket on the inside.
Make Carly as a versatile hip-length Top or a contemporary midi Dress. A shaped seam at the centre back will help you get a really nice fit that skims the body without being too tight. The Carly Dress also includes a stylish split at the hem for ease of movement.
Both versions can be made with a long sleeve, perfect for the colder months, or a short sleeve with a wide cuff.
This kit includes the fabric and supplies to sew up either the Carly Dress or Top in a beautiful knit fabric.
