Back when Oxana decided to retire the Zoe, I didn't get it. I procrastinated, and thought, "Do I REALLY need ANOTHER dolman pattern?" And, I missed the retirement sale. And, it's true, I have many dolman patterns. I was counting them the other day... maybe my dolman pattern collection could rival my wrap dress pattern collection! 🤣 But I love them all, for different reasons. And, I'm just here trying to try all the patterns apparently, but it is really fun to try new and different things.
So... when Oxana decided to revamp the Zoe, I immediately applied to test it. After all, clearly, I NEED another dolman pattern! 😜 I was immediately drawn to the dress version in the line drawing. However, that's not what I made. I fell in love with the top version after seeing one or two testers tops! And, y'all I love this top!

I'm glad I chose to test, because not only did I get a new pattern, but it also forced me to go ahead and sew it, and now I have a new top that I can LIVE in. Seriously... it's super comfortable! Check out my Zoe!
This pattern makes the perfect relaxed fit tee or dress. It's super cute, can be worn casual or dressed up, and is surprisingly flattering for its relaxed fit. I love it SO much!
Let Me Tell You More:
The pattern is a very easy sew. I'm sure it could be made in less than an hour, cut to finish. It has a relaxed fit everywhere. Both the top and dress version have the typical dolman style sleeves, and these are finished with fold up cuffs rather than hems. They are quick and easy, and very cute. They set this pattern apart from many others. The dress version has a drawstring at the waist, to pull it in for a very flattering fit. The top can be made as a relaxed fit top (that I made) or a top with a drawstring at the waist as well. All of the options are very nice!
Sewing the Top:
The pattern went together very easily. The instructions were so good for every step. The basic top that I made is probably the easiest version to sew, however, looking at the instructions for the top and the dress, no version looks too difficult.
Styling the Top:
The top is a very relaxed fit. The pattern recommends wearing the relaxed fit top with a more fitted bottom, such as leggings, a pencil skirt, or skinny jeans. For my photos, I paired the Zoe with my favorite Penny Leggings. Seriously... I'm wearing them ALL THE TIME. I really need a second pair! This is probably the most comfortable outfit in my closet! My favorite thing about it is that it can be super casual and perfect for wearing around the house, but if I chose to dress it up with heels and a necklace, it would also be the perfect outfit for going out... and I would still be super comfortable! 😉
So Head Over... and check out this pattern while it's on sale!
