Description
The Crossroads dress is a dress and top pattern designed for a comfortable fit with modern style. The slim fit top (views A and E) hugs the hip and pairs perfectly with a pair of flared jeans, while the tunic (views B and F) flares out at the hip and offers great coverage for wearing with leggings. The dress lengths (views C and G) fall at the knee with
plenty of flare for that great modern staple shape and finally the maxi (views D and H) has enough flare to comfortably run around in with a dreamy shape that lands near ankle height. Views A through D feature a unique cut out design at the center front that is pieced together using french seams to create both an opportunity for colorblocking and a bit of texture to the bodice. The french seams are sewn in reverse so that they end up on the right side and create the “crossroads” shape outlining the cut outs. If you’re not familiar with the french seam technique, the illustrated tutorial will walk you through step by step so there is no need to worry. Views E through H have a solid front piece and will
quickly become your go to staple pattern for a quick sew to feature all those fun fabrics out there. All views have a solid back. With sizes newborn through 12 years and both sleeveless and three additional sleeve options offered for each of the eight views, there is a Crossroads dress out there that’s just right for your girl!
