Cashmerette – Washington Contrast Dress

Mixing the comfort of a knit bodice, with the fabric possibilities of a woven skirt, the Washington Dress gives you the freedom to play with colors and textures, for a look thats uniquely you. Like all Cashmerette Patterns, the bodice comes in three cup sizes (C/D, E/F, and G/H), which makes fitting a cinch!

Style wise, the Washington Dress gives you endless design options. The knit bodice features a figure-enhancing scoop neckline and three sleeve variations: short, three-quarter, or full length. The A-line skirt cleverly combines woven fabric with a heavy knit yoke, eliminating the need for closures and allowing you to comfortably slip the dress over your head. For additional tummy control, the front yoke can be made from a woven fabric.

Sizes: 12 to 28 (US) / 16 to 32 (UK), in three cup sizes (C/D, E/F, G/H)
Note: The bodice of this dress is designed to be close fitting, so if you want a more skimming fit, Cashmerette recommend going up a size in the bodice.

Recommended fabrics:
Bodice: Light to midweight knit fabric such as jersey or interlock with at least 50% crosswise stretch.
Yoke: Heavy knit fabric such as ponte or scuba. For more support, make from a mid to heavyweight woven.
Skirt: Mid to heavyweight woven fabric, such as cotton, linen, canvas, or denim.
