Alice Top in Liberty of London Capel Dark Blue
|
We are very excited to be releasing our latest pattern - The Alice Dress/Top. This smock style top/dress features a self-lined yoke bodice with shaped armhole bands and a softly gathered body on front and back. The dress version also includes side pockets. Suitable fabrics for the Alice include lightweight linens, lightweight cottons (such as Liberty of London tana lawns), eyelet cotton, rayons, viscose and silk crepe de chine.

Colette's dress version below is made up in Italian cotton lawn The Other Alps. Colette had to allow for extra meterage to match the zig zag striped pattern on the lower dress - 2.5mtrs was used for this size Small dress. The armhole bands were cut on the opposing grain for contrast and the inner yoke and armhole bands were cut in the lighter part of the print.

For Lisa's linen version below, she used our lightweight Striped Stone D'Ville and cut the front and back outer yokes on the opposing grain to give some horizontal stripe contrast. She used a Liberty (Eleonora, from the stash) for the yoke and sleeve facings.
Happy Alice sewing! We hope you like her x
I knew straight away this is the style for me - and then I read that you have included side pockets! 'Alice' has been downloaded and is ready to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tessuti :)
Spud.
Yes and thank YOU - we love a pocket as much as you do!
DeleteThank you Tessuti! I love this pattern, suits my body shape and my pale skin with those little cap sleeves. I just want to race home from work now and get sewing.
ReplyDeleteA race-home-from-work-now-and-get-sewing is lovely feedback. Thanks Leah!
DeleteHello is the printed pattern of this available in the Chatswood store ? Thank you Fiona :)
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona - yes, the pattern is now available in all stores
DeleteI love this. It is so cute! Now I want it to be hot here again so I can make a dress up in that stripey linen and wear it right away.
ReplyDeleteHow much garment sewing experience is required to make this gorgeous top?

My bust and hips both measure 116 cm. Would the size XL fit me?
ReplyDeleteHi TheSpottedMonkey,
DeleteIt may be ok, as some sewers have found that they prefer the Alice Top made up a size smaller. It all depends on how much ease you like in your garments. Also note that the correct fabric choice will be a factor too. I'd give it a try in a light weight soft cotton.
