PRODUCT DETAILS
The drop-waist silhouette – a key feature for summer 2024.
The new Drop-waist dress is sleeveless with bias binding as a finish on the armholes and neckline. It features gathers along the front neckline and a keyhole opening with a ribbon tie at the back of the neck. You can make a top or a dress with a drop-waist and side seam pockets.
You can easily extend the top to your desired length and add bias binding or a statement ruffle at the hem (described as a hack in the assembly instruction).
