The Romey Gathered Dress & Top pattern is inspired by our beloved Remy Raglan pattern. Beginning with the signature (Version #2) Remy keyhole neckline and loose fit, we shortened the waistline into an elegant empire waist with a gathered skirt or peplum and billowy gathered sleeves at bracelet length. Both dress versions include patch pockets because our customers love pockets.For a flowy and romantic dress or top with less volume, we suggest a drapey fabric such as rayon challis, ecovera challis, rayon/linen blends or sandwashed silk. For a fuller, cottagecore look, linen or cotton lawn is perfect.
