Statement Sleeve- Cielo Top or Dress

Statement Sleeves

It looks like the Statement sleeve is here for a while and to pay homage to the fabulous voluminous sleeve we are thrilled to offer this 1 day workshop. Making the Cielo dress or Top from Closet Core Patterns.

The Cielo Dress & Top is an easy, breezy take on a boxy tee and shift dress. Loaded with interesting details and interchangeable features, it will fast become a wardrobe-building favourite.

Choose between a semi-cropped top with a cuffed short sleeve or the dramatic gathered long lantern style sleeve. Or make the easy-fitting dress with or without the sleek inseam pockets. All views have a slightly dropped shoulder, angled shoulder yoke and roomy fit, with a choice between an elegant bias binding or a faced neckline finish.

Pattern Difficulty: Beginner

Size 0-20 or 14 – 32
