Cartwright is also part one in another of our very popular Curated by ITF pattern hacking series, and the perfect base from which you can design the tops and dresses you’ve been dreaming about!GARMENT DETAILS:
The Cartwright dress + top pattern includes a relaxed fitting knee-length dress and hip-length top that slip over the head and do not require an opening. The design features a rounded neckline (finished with bias binding), bust darts, in-seam pockets (dress view) and subtle shaping through the side seam for a boxy fit that doesn't overwhelm. Choose between short or three-quarter length sleeves.
Recommended Fabrics: The Cartwright Dress + Top is compatible with mid-weight woven fabrics such as: linen, linen blends, cotton, chambray, denim and wool. Keep in mind that the weight of the fabric will determine the amount of structure and drape in the finished garment. Experiment with different fabrics to get different looks with the Cartwright pattern. Want it more boxy and structured? Try a heavier fabric like denim or wool. Prefer something more relaxed? Go for a light to medium-weight fabric with good drape, such as viscose or linen.
