Pattern Fantastique - Vali Dress (and Top)
About the Vali Dress and Top
The Vali Dress is a classic 70's style glam smock. The high neckline of the front and back yoke is surrounded by stunning gathering at the sleeves, and the gathering feature continues below the yokes. Volumes of fabric, fine ties, topstitched facings and pocket bags will transform the simplest of materials into a romantic, textured and detailed dress or top. The Vali has two neckline options, the standard neckline and a drop neckline, for those who prefer a plunge or need a little more breastfeeding access.
