By Closet Core Patterns, the Azure Dress, Skirt & Top is a paper sewing pattern.

Garment Details: With five distinct views, Azure is a mini wardrobe in one tidy package!

With a dress and skirt in two lengths and a separate sleeveless top, you'll love mixing and matching pieces. The Azure bodice is semi-fitted with a jewel neckline and button closure in the back; it can be lined or finished with an all-in-one facing. The skirt is striking with alternating diagonal gathered panels and can be worn on its own or integrated into a breezy tiered dress.

• View A is a below-knee dress with two tiers that ends just below the knee.
• View B is a maxi-length dress with three tiers that ends below the ankle.
• View C is a cropped sleeveless top that hits just below the natural waist.
• View D is a below-knee skirt with an elasticised back and two tiers that ends just below the knee.
• View E is a maxi-length skirt with an elasticised back and three tiers that ends below the ankle.

Fabric Suggestions: For more structure, choose light to midweight wovens such as linen, cotton poplin, voile, batiste, chambray, double gauze, batiste and shirtings. For a drapier dress, choose light to midweight drapey fabrics like rayon challis, viscose, Tencel twill, and silk crepe de chine.
