A BRETON WITH A TWIST

Meet Romy, the top and dress sewing pattern that puts a playful spin on everyday staples. With its relaxed fit and distinctive high slash neckline, Romy is a comfortable, versatile design you can sew as a classic Breton-style top, a casual T-shirt or an easy-to-wear dress.

Make it your own with optional back ties or contrast binding for a pop of colour. Choose cap, three-quarter-length or full-length sleeves to create a version for any season, and sew it in your favourite suitable stretch knit fabric.

Romy is designed to be sewn on either a regular sewing machine or an overlocker (serger), making it a useful project for developing your knit fabric sewing skills. Wear your handmade top with jeans for everyday outfits, or style the dress with trainers, sandals or tights and boots as the seasons change.

PATTERN FEATURES:

Two garment options: top and dress
Relaxed, modern fit
High slash envelope neckline
Choice of cap, three-quarter-length or full-length sleeves
Optional back ties
Optional contrast binding

The Romy top and dress is a PDF pattern only. This pattern is not available as a printed pattern.
