Emerald Dress & Top Sewing Pattern, Made by Rae

Emerald is a simple shift dress or top designed to offer comfort in the summer heat. Wear it with sandals and a hat on hot days or layered under a warm sweater or cowl as the seasons change and the days turn cool. The garment is composed of four main panels and is finished with facings, which highlight the elegant V-shaped neckline and curved hem. Pockets or a sash can be added to the dress version (optional).

Suggested Fabrics: For maximum comfort and wearability, choose lightweight fabrics with drape to allow the bias-cut design to conform to your body. The centre seam allows for some fun pattern play if you use striped or patterned fabric, or becomes a beautiful design feature on a simple solid fabric.
