The Westcliff Dress is an easy to sew dress for knit fabrics. It features a wrap front with full coverage and a neckline that won’t gape! There is an optional lower tier that makes this dress a maxi. The pattern also includes a tutorial on how to turn this dress into a cute cropped top.

Skill level: Beginner level sewing

Sizes:  XS - 4X.  Two cup size bodice options (B cup and D cup).
*See images for more sizing information and fabric requirements.

Suggested Fabric: Perfect for knit fabrics of all kinds. You need at least 25% stretch.
If you choose a knit with more body, like a ponte, it will have a more structured modern look.
If you sew it in a drapier knit, like a rayon jersey, it will have a more romantic look.
