Bring some romance to your wardrobe with the Photinia Top & Dress!

The Photinia is a loose fitting, timeless and versatile top and dress featuring a gathered neckline and various sleeve options. Views 1 & 3 feature short sleeves with cuffs that can be folded up or left as is. Views 2 & 4 feature long sleeves that can be worn in a number of seasons. Both dress versions hit right at the knee and can be tied with optional ties to cinch the waist or left alone for a comfortable and easy look. Dress versions also feature inset pockets. 

The neckline can be gathered with a bias binding or elastic (suitable for beginners).

The pattern also features 3 additional views/sleeve variations including a gathered sleeve with cuff (shown on Gyasti in pink), an elasticized wrist (shown on Erica in the green) and a ruffle sleeve (shown on Rebecca in orange).

Chouette - French for 'great' :D

I do like your ZW patterns, they have added style elements that are to my taste.

This was my first time having the patience to follow a pattern to sew a garment for myself. I’m SO glad I did. I did the view 2 top with gathered sleeve and cuff in an olive green double gauze. I didn’t cut the bottom of the top well but I don’t think it’s super obvious when worn. I JUST LOVE IT!! I can’t wait to do more renditions of this with a ruffled sleeve in a dress and different patterns and colors.

It looks like a great top, so very cute but I haven't attempted to sew it yet. I expect it to be totally adorable.
