Eucalypt woven tank top & dress pattern

Nice little tank top

Depending on your size and the width of your fabric, it may be possible to make this top with a very small amount of fabric. It calls for bias binding on the neckline and armscye, which makes for a tidy finish (I made my own bias, so it would have the same stretch/behaviour as the fashion fabric). Instructions are good. No darts in this pattern, which may not work for everyone, but worked well for me.

Love this pattern

This is a great pattern. Very easy and turns out beautifully.

Several Hacks and it's beautiful

I used this pattern as a basis for the sundress I wanted to make. I used a multicolored stripe silk twill and fully lined it with a slightly lighter weight black charmeuse Italian stripes silk I had in my stash. I also found a coordinating deep yellow flowered charmeuse that I used for bias facing strips. I used the bias strips to finish the hem as well so the finished dress is reversible. Two other hacks: increased the bust for a D cup by adding darts and made a 2.5" wide tie belt, one side has striped silk and the other black.
