Cashmerette Washington Dress Pattern

Cashmerette Washington Dress. Mixing the comfort of a knit bodice with the fabric possibilities of a woven skirt, the Washington Dress gives you the freedom to play with colours and textures for a look that's uniquely you. Like all Cashmerette Patterns the bodice comes in three cup sizes (C/D, E/F, and G/H), which makes fitting a cinch!

Style wise, the Washington Dress gives you endless design options. The knit bodice features a figure-enhancing scoop neckline and three sleeve variations: short, three-quarter, or full length. The A-line skirt cleverly combines woven fabric with a heavy knit yoke, eliminating the need for closures and allowing you to comfortably slip the dress over your head. For additional tummy control, the front yoke can be made from a woven fabric.

RECOMMENDED FABRIC:
Bodice: Light to midweight knit fabric such as jersey or ITY with at least 50% crosswise stretch.

Yoke: Heavy knit fabric such as Ponte or scuba. For more support, make from a mid to heavyweight woven.

Skirt: Mid to heavyweight woven fabric, such as cotton, linen, canvas, or upholstery fabric.
