The Asteri sewing pattern includes two options: an elegant sleeveless midi dress, and a stylish vest top. Both variations are unlined, and feature a princess cut, V-neck, and buttoning at the front. The dress has discreet in-seam side pockets, and the vest comes with distinctive patch pockets on the hips. The waist pleats give a nice volume to the pencil skirt of the dress, while the split back hem ensures comfort. The vest includes buckled tab at the back waist for adjusting ease.
Fabric recommendations
For either variation, choose a medium-weight non-stretch fabric that’s either rigid or slightly drapey. A variety of linen and cotton fabrics work well with these garments.
