Pattern Features
The details on this garment are simple yet unique. The outer leg of the shoulder dart gathers slightly to form a ruffle while an elastic tunnel gathers the sides at the underarm for an easy and comfortable fit with no closures to sew.
When sewn in a more structured fabric, the sleeve/ruffle is more crisp and prominent. Sew it up in a fluid fabric such as rayon challis and the ruffle floats or flutters gently.
The top (version #1) is somewhat cropped and lands around the high hip. The mini dress (version #2) lands a little above the knees and the long dress (version #3) lands just above the ankles. Both long and short dresses feature oversized pockets and the full maxi features long front slits/vents at the hem. The waist tie is optional.
Fabrics, Sundries & Measurements
For fluid sleeve ruffles choose rayon challis, silk challis, sandwashed silk and lightweight woven Tencel.
For crisp sleeve ruffles choose linen, fine cotton lawn, light-weight shirting, cotton ikat.
