From Helen's Closet:

The Lawrence Top and Dress is a fun and breezy summer sew. It features a relaxed fit with a v-neck and an optional shoulder ruffle detail. Two lengths are provided for the dress, with a choice between two or three gathered tiers. The top is a great wardrobe staple and can be made even simpler with the omission of the shoulder ruffles. In this case, a bias binding method is used to finish the armholes instead. The bodice features bust darts and the v-neck is finished with a topstitched facing. This pattern does not include pockets but inseam pockets can easily be added to the first tier of the dress if desired. Lawrence is so much fun to sew and wear! 

Recommended Fabrics: Light weight woven fabrics with no stretch. Linen, cotton (lawn, poplin, voile, batiste, seersucker, shirting, double gauze), Tencel twill, and rayon/viscose challis or poplin will work well. Structured fabric like crisp cotton lawn will have more dramatic volume and drapier fabrics like rayon challis will have more fluid movement. 

Size Range: 0-34 (up to a 62″ / 157.5 cm chest/hip)
This pattern includes two size options. There is a B-cup pattern from sizes 0-22 and a D-cup pattern from sizes 12-34.
