Tilly & The Buttons Sewing Pattern - Romy Top/Dress

£15.50

Create yourself a gorgeous handmade dress or top with the help of popular pattern designer, Tilly & The Buttons.

This fun jersey dress is an exciting new addition to Tilly's range of patterns and is ideal for improvers. Why are these patterns so great? Not only do you get the pattern, but also full-colour step-by-step instructions, so you don't have to be a great pattern reader to be able to make a modern and stylish jersey dress or top. 

The optional back ties or contrast binding add a fun twist to this classic Breton or t shirt dress. Romy has a modern loose fit and high slash envelope neckline, with choice of cap, three quarter or full length sleeves for year-round style. Designed for knit fabrics, make it up on either a regular sewing machine or overlocker (serger). 

Medium-weight low stretch knit fabrics such as jersey or interlock are best for this project. You could also use ponte for the long sleeve version. Avoid anything too light-weight, drapey or clingy. If you’re making the back ties version, avoid anything too bulky.

See the back of the pattern image for fabric requirements.
