Inject a little bohemian glamour into your wardrobe with the Nicks Dress + Blouse. In multiple variations with soft gathering and delicate details, it's satisfying to make and a pleasure to wear.
All views feature a loose-fitting V-necked bodice with a gently gathered shoulder and yoke. The slightly puffed sleeve is gathered at the shoulder; choose between a short sleeve, or a long sleeve with wrist pleats for shaping and an elastic gathered cuff. You may also choose between two interchangeable neckline finishes: a simple facing, or a bias-bound neckline with delicate rouleau button loops and buttons. View A is a button-front dress with a comfortable elastic waist, long or short sleeves, and three gathered skirt tiers. View B is a voluminous swing tunic with a gathered hip tier and long or short sleeves. View C is an elegant blouse with a faced neckline and long or short sleeves.
SUGGESTED FABRIC
The Nicks Dress + Blouse shines in a variety of light to midweight wovens with moderate drape. We suggest the following:
For a flowy and ethereal effect, try: rayon challis, viscose, silk crepe, chiffon, charmeuse, or georgette
For more body, try: cotton shirting, batiste, voile, chambray, or linen
I have just completed this project and found instructions straightforward. It is a perfect fit and I’m very pleased. Will make again.

Great pattern
Great pattern though not for beginners as collar stand is narrow and need’s careful attention.

Pateen is so easy
Love this pattern what I have been looking for. My stash of patterns going back to the 70’s did not have this simple sew skirt, I could teach my daughter to understand the instructions. Thank you

The pattern was easy to download and an extra benefit was that I only had to print my size ! I haven’t used the pattern yet .
