Closet Core Patterns : Azure Dress, Top & Skirt
With five distinct views, Azure is a mini wardrobe all in one tidy package! With a dress and skirt in two lengths and a separate sleeveless top, you'll love mix 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. View A is a midi-length dress with two tiers. View B is a maxi-length dress with three tiers. View C is a cropped sleeveless top. View D is a midi-length skirt with an elasticated back. View E is a maxi-length skirt with an elasticated back.
