I've had two two-yard cuts of solid olive sitting on a shelf for months, just waiting to be made into something. But apparently at some point, I cut a little piece from both of them for different projects... so now I had two slightly-smaller-than-two yard cuts sitting there waiting...
I had kind of forgotten about them until my husband got his Christmas present from his mom... an olive polo. When he opened it, I said, "I have fabric that color! I'm going to make me a matching dress!"
So, when Shannon announced that she needed a few more pictures of Lillith sewn up, I jumped in, thinking I'd make my olive dress, forgetting that I had cut into my olive fabric. 🤣 Unfortunately they were slightly different color olives (they came from different places), so I couldn't just use some of both to make the dress work.
So... I didn't make my matching olive dress, I made me a matching olive blouse, and I kind of LOVE IT! 😍
Let's Talk About the Pattern:
This is a super cute top and dress pattern available in both ladies' and girls' sizes. It is drafted for knit fabrics. Most knit fabric types will work.
It is a basic tee/ a-line dress with a cute waist tie, and beautiful bishop sleeves.
The sleeves can be cut at either long sleeve length or half sleeve. Both options are pulled in at the hem with elastic.
You have three length choices for the waist tie (a short knot, a long knot, or a bow). The short knot is not recommended for thick or heavy fabrics, and the bow requires interfacing to hold its shape well.
And y'all... this pattern is just really cute.
My Top:
Yeah, this is my top that I wanted to be a dress. But honestly, I needed a few more tops I could wear with jeans, so this one will get plenty of use! 😊
My top is made from Double Brushed Poly Fabric. I cut out the long knot option. I honestly probably could have cut my dress out if I had chosen the shorter sleeve option, but I thought I'd probably enjoy the long sleeves for cooler days. The sleeves take up quite a bit of fabric being as wide as they are, but it's so worth it! They're amazing! 😍
Fabric:
My fabric is a solid olive available at Amelia Lane Designs. It's my favorite place to shop for myself. I love all the options they carry. Their prices are great, and they are constantly stocking new things!
