It just required two simple changes: First I cut the dress pieces at the lengthen\/shorten line instead of using the full pattern pieces. Then I lowered the V-neck a bit. The top that inspired this was actually a crew neck, but I haven’t been wearing crew necks very much and thought that a lower V-neck would be more my style.<\/p>\n Once you’ve cut the fabric, the sewing itself proceeds exactly as the dress, and I hemmed the top exactly like the dress as well. So there you go: another style you can make using the same pattern!<\/p>\n In white, this style fits in with the rest of my core summer wardrobe of black and white separates. I packed a tiny backpack for a week-long trip to Vienna last week and this top coordinated perfectly with all the other items I carefully selected. I was really pleased, and I’ll pack it for our trip back to the U.S. as well.<\/p>\n You can pick up your own copy of our Belgravia Knit Dress sewing pattern\u00a0right here<\/a>.
