Buy the Hera Dress, Top and Skirt sewing pattern from Veronica Tucker. The Hera set includes a blouse with a tie neck and fully lined puff sleeves, and a gathered skirt with a curved yoke and pockets. Both have elasticised waistbands, and the top is reversible, so you can wear the keyhole in the front or back. The top and skirt can also be transformed into an all-in-one or semi-attached dress!
Instructions for lengthening the top, lengthening the sleeves to 3/4 or full length, and adjusting the length of the skirt are included as well, giving you even more options.
NOTE: The designer is six months pregnant in the images, so the high-low hem difference is more exaggerated.
