Azure Dress, Skirt + Top Pattern
Suggested Fabrics/Notions
Description
With five distinct views, Azure is a mini wardrobe in one tidy package! With a dress and skirt in two lengths and a separate sleeveless top, you'll love mixing and matching pieces. The Azure bodice is semi-fitted with a jewel neckline and button closure in the back; it can be lined or finished with an all-in-one facing. The skirt is striking with alternating diagonal gathered panels and can be worn on its own or integrated into a breezy tiered dress.
- View A is a below-knee dress with two tiers that ends just below the knee.
- View B is a maxi-length dress with three tiers that ends below the ankle.
- View C is a cropped sleeveless top that hits just below the natural waist.
- View D is a below-knee skirt with an elasticized back and two tiers that ends just below the knee.
- View E is a maxi-length skirt with an elasticized back and three tiers that ends below
- the ankle.

Since there is some overlap between our two size ranges, you may be wondering which one to choose. The main difference between the two size ranges is that the 14-32 range is drafted for larger busts with a more pear-shaped lower body. If you fall in one of the overlapping sizes, we suggest determining your cup size first by measuring your full bust and high bust and subtracting one from the other. Each inch difference equals one cup size. If you are a D cup or larger, our 14-32 range will ensure the best fit through the bust. If you are an A/B/C cup through the bust and less pear-shaped, the 0-20 range will be the best option. Downloads for both size ranges are available, be sure to only print the one you wish to use.
