The Shantelle Shirred Top and Dress is here to deliver! With its classic design and customizable details, this pattern is made to move with you: from everyday wear to dressed-up occasions. Whether you want to keep it breezy and flowy or add some shape with shirring, this is a piece you’ll turn to again and again. Here’s what makes the Shantelle Shirred Top and Dress so special: Multiple Garment Styles: Stitch it up as a cropped or regular-length top, or go full dress with mid-thigh, above-the-knee, or midi length options. Shirring or No Shirring: Love a cinched waist and gathered sleeve? Add shirring with either elastic thread or regular elastic. Prefer a relaxed, floaty silhouette? Skip the shirring for ultimate comfort. Mix-and-Match Sleeves: Personalize your piece with your favorite sleeve length - choose from cap sleeves, short, elbow, or long dramatic sleeves. Woven Fabric Friendly: Designed for lightweight woven fabrics with beautiful drape. Think rayon challis, viscose, cotton voile, lawn, double gauze, or soft linen blends. (Skip the quilting cotton for this one - it’s all about flow!)
