Who doesn’t love a sewing pattern with lots of options? I love when I can have a pattern that offers looks for both a dress and a top without any pattern hacking required. The Boho Babydoll Pattern from Patterns for Pirates provides you with many different looks all in one pattern. During testing, I was able to create a maxi dress which I blogged about HERE and this fun top.
The Boho Babydoll Pattern is available in sizes XXS-3X. The options include a higher and lower neckline. Tank bodice and sleeve options (short, 3/4, 3/4 with ruffle, and long) mean you can wear it year round! It also includes many lengths so you can make a handful and they all look so different! High Low top,(which is top length at front and tunic in back), Curved Top/Tunic, Curved Dress and a Slight High Low Maxi (the slight high low helps walking ease as well as to show off those cute shoes just a bit).
For this top I used the XS Scoop Neck bodice, 3/4 sleeves, and size S top Length.
This scoop neck is LOVE for me! I absolutely adore the way this lies on the body. It is low enough to give a flattering shape without having to worry about any cleavage (not that I would know anything about that).
The gathering sits up high enough to help give a nice silhoutte and hopefully doesn’t give a pregnancy vibe. If it does, I don’t even care because this top is so comfortable and I can hide my “I had four babies” tummy or a Friday full of chips and queso 🙂 Either way…it’s a win!
Let’s talk a sec about the butt coverage too. I love tops that cover my bum. It just helps me feel more confident and comfortable in my clothes and guess what, this top has you covered, literally!
But one of my absolute favorite parts of this top is the beautiful fabric. You guys, it is so crazy soft. I received a very generous cut from Bow Button Fabrics in my order and was able to make this top, as well as 3 Stella tops for my sister in law and nieces. This is a Double Brushed Poly in Teal Kimmy Floral and I will be purchasing more for sure. Her shipping was quick and I have been so pleased with the fabric I have ordered so far.
About 18 years ago I decided to teach myself how to sew. Long before blogs and resources available today which meant it was often disastrous. But I never gave up because I loved it so much. Today I love helping others get started on their own sewing journey. You can read more about my family and I
Beautiful top – I think it’s my favourite thing you’ve made
Thank you. It is super comfortable too which is the best part of all!
