By PATTERN FANTASTIQUE, Vali Top & Dress is a paper sewing pattern.
Garment Details: The Vali Dress is a classic 70's style glam smock. The high neckline is surrounded by sleeve and yoke gathers. Volumes of fabric, fine ties, topstitched facings and pocket bags will transform the simplest of materials into a romantic, textured and detailed dress or top. The Vali has two neckline options, the standard neckline and a drop neckline, for those who prefer a plunge or need a little more breastfeeding access.
Fit: Sizes range from 6-26. The yoke is the key fitting point with a high neckline and close-fitting yoke line that gives form to an otherwise full flowing dress. The instructions contain more information on how to measure and choose the best size for you.
Sizing: This is a multi-sized pattern in Australian sizes 6-26. Sizing chart can be found here.
