Get ready to make your new favorite dresses! The Gather ’round is a cute and comfortable dress (or top) for any occasion. You can pick from the endless options to go from summer to winter, top to long dress, a quick plain style to a more detailed and unique look.  The looser fit through the bodice means you’re open to an array of fabrics as well.  Fitted at bust and looser through underbust and waist, this pattern is not only super comfortable to wear it is also flattering with a seaming in between empire and natural waist and fitted enough at the bust to still show off some of your beautiful silhouette while floating away at just the right areas.  Not a fan of a looser waistline? That’s okay too, add on the waist ties included in the long list of options and cinch it at your waist. The tiered skirt options are so fun, you can’t help but swoosh and twirl in it… I dare you to try not to feel fun and flirty in these tiered skirts! With the huge amount of neckline, sleeve and length options in this pattern you’re sure to find the perfect one for you and loved ones you’re sewing for.
