The Dew Top/Dress is a simple cowl neck style with big impact! The pattern includes a dress view with a shaped hem, roomy pockets, and a comfortable fit. The top features a subtle high-low hem and a line silhouette. The pockets on the dress are sewn flat to the front for maximum carrying capacity without added bulk. The fit is loose without being baggy. This is a comfortable style that sews up quickly! You’ll want to make this fun pattern over and over again!

Fabric Recommendations:
The Dew is designed for knit fabrics. You will need a fabric with at least 25% crosswise stretch. It looks great in jerseys, rib knits, ponte knits, scuba, andmore! If you are sewing the dress version, a fabric with a bit of body will hold the shape of the hem nicely.
Fabric Requirements:
You may need to purchase extra yardage if your fabric has a heavy nap, is directional, striped, or has an obvious repeat.
