Description

The Ivie is a versatile woven maxi dress or two-piece set, offering three sleeve options: a tank ruffle, a cap sleeve, and a ¾ length sleeve. Designed for comfort and adjustability, the neckline, sleeve cuffs, and waistline all feature drawstring details. The waist sits high at the natural waist, while the cropped top pairs perfectly with the flowing skirt, which includes inseam pockets, a statement hem ruffle, and a drawstring elastic waist.

Recommended Fabric

Light to midweight woven fabrics. For easier sewing of the bias casings, a stable fabric is recommended. Ideal choices include rayon challis, rayon twill, rayon voile, cotton block prints, cotton lawn, cotton voile, linen, and chambray.

Fabric Requirements

The fabric requirements listed are the minimum needed. If you anticipate shrinkage, are working with a directional print, need to match patterns, or account for a print repeat, consider purchasing extra fabric to ensure the best results.
