PDF Sewing Pattern - Elskan Dress & Top
You can sew this batwing pattern as a dress or a top and it has two sleeve options; short and long.
The long sleeve version will be a stylish addition to your wardrobe for the colder months of the year. It's loosely draped on top, but the long sleeves are fitted and the dress has a fitted bottom with negative ease. Fabrics with 50% stretch work best for this pattern.

FABRIC SUGGESTION
Use stretch knit fabrics with good recovery and at least 50% crosswise stretch. I recommend at least 5% spandex.
You want to avoid rib knits and interlock-knit fabrics since the ends do not roll as single jersey does. Single jersey is basically what most T-shirts are made off. The edge of the jersey will naturally curl to the right side of the fabric.
You can use cotton spandex (lycra, elastane), rayon (viscose, modal, lyocell) spandex or other blends with spandex. Light or midweight fabrics give best result.
