Merchant & Mills Florence Top Sewing Pattern
The Merchant & Mills Florence Top sewing pattern offers a chic and versatile design, perfect for creating elegant handmade garments. Featuring a swingy peplum silhouette with a soft high-low gathered hem, this pattern allows you to sew both a charming top and a flowing dress.
The Florence is adorned with a button-back detail, adding a touch of sophistication to its relaxed shape. Ideal for pairing with light and drapey fabrics, this pattern is perfect for creating comfortable yet stylish pieces that transition seamlessly from day to evening wear.
Florence's Features:
• Swingy peplum silhouette with a flattering high-low gathered hem
• Button-back detail for a stylish, elegant finish
• Option to create a top or dress with the same pattern
• Relaxed fit perfect for layering or wearing on its own
Create a timeless addition to your handmade wardrobe with the Florence Top and Dress sewing pattern, ideal for sewists who value effortless style and versatility.
Skill level - Intermediate
Fabric Suggestions - We recommend lightweight fabrics with good drape, such as cotton, Tencel, or linen. If you choose a fabric with less drape, the top will have a more sculptural shape.
Notions:
• Matching thread.
• Buttons - 3 x 14 - 15MM.
