Description
The Romey Gathered Dress & Top pattern is inspired by Sew House Seven's popular Remy Raglan pattern. Beginning with the signature (Version #2) Remy keyhole neckline and loose fit, we shortened the waistline into an elegant empire waist with a gathered skirt or peplum and billowy gathered sleeves at bracelet length. Both dress versions include patch pockets because who doesn't love pockets?!
With its flowy and oversized fit, we would classify the Romey Gathered Dress and Top as "secret pajamas" that can be worn casually with sneakers, sandals or boots. Sew one up in a slinkier fabric for a more polished look!
Pattern Features
- Version #1 Gathered peplum top
- Version #2 Above the knee-length dress with optional patch pockets
- Version #3 Long midi dress with optional patch pockets
Fabric recommendation:
For a flowy and romantic dress or top with less volume, we suggest a drapey fabric such as rayon challis, ecovera challis, rayon/linen blends or sandwashed silk. For a fuller, cottagecore look, linen or cotton lawn is perfect.
