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 – intermediate.
Recommended fabric: knits with 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.
