Whether you want to keep it breezy and flowy or add some shape with shirring, this is a piece you’ll turn to again and again.

Here’s what makes the Shantelle Shirred Top and Dress so special:

Multiple Garment Styles: Stitch it up as a cropped or regular-length top, or go full dress with mid-thigh, above-the-knee, or midi length options.

Shirring or No Shirring: Love a cinched waist and gathered sleeve? Add shirring with either elastic thread or regular elastic. Prefer a relaxed, floaty silhouette? Skip the shirring for ultimate comfort.

Mix-and-Match Sleeves: Personalize your piece with your favorite sleeve length - choose from cap sleeves, short, elbow, or long dramatic sleeves.

Woven Fabric Friendly: Designed for lightweight woven fabrics with beautiful drape. Think rayon challis, viscose, cotton voile, lawn, double gauze, or soft linen blends. (Skip the quilting cotton for this one - it’s all about flow!)

Easy-to-Use Files: Includes layered A4/Letter for at-home printing, A0 for the copy shop, and a projector-friendly file for seamless cutting.

Step-by-Step Support: With clear photo instructions and a helpful video tutorial, this pattern is beginner-friendly and sewist-approved.
