The Annie Dress modified to top


Annie Top (modified straps) in seersucker Japanese 100% cotton Ripple Spot (Navy still available at Chatswood and Melbourne stores only)
We've had such a fabulous response to our recently released Annie Dress that we wanted to show you how great this pattern can also look as a top. 
Gabby and I made our versions (above and below) with the thin straps using the modified tutorial shown here.
Annie Top (modified straps) in Black Ripple Square bodice/Black Hartford Linen worn together with Black Hartford Robbie Pants
Lisa's version, pictured below, was made using a fine embroidered cotton voile from her stash. Being so sheer and lightweight, she lined and faced everything using our Hartford White linen.
Once finished she over-dyed it using our Crimson iDye, soaking for an hour (as opposed to the recommended half hour) to get a deeper shade.

    You girls must have read my mind, my mum and I were talking about doing this just yesterday afternoon :-)
    Perfect little top, love all your versions :-)

    What thread to use if one is intending to over-dye a garment after sewing? I presume cotton or silk? Can you check with Lisa which one she used?

      Hi Helga,

      I used a cotton thread, knowing that I would overdye it after making my top. I needed the thread to dye easily with my natural iDye
