The Roller Derby Bralette is a classic, simple bralette that will have you feeling comfortable and cute at the same time.  You can choose from a traditional higher neckline for a sports bra look or go for the low neckline for a more bralette style.  You can also pick a plain front or gathered/ruched front.  The edges are finished with fold over elastic and the front is lined, giving a beautiful finish inside and out. You can pick from exposed elastic underbust or a knit underbust band.  The pieces come with our regular sizing, plus a small bust and full bust adjustment pieces if your over bust and full bust hit a size apart on our charts.

The edges are finished with fold over elastic and gives a super cute retro vibe. You can pick from exposed elastic or a knit waistband for your perfect look and comfort feel.  You can also choose from low rise, mid rise or high rise for different looks and whatever suits you best.   You can pick from cheeky cut that shows off just a little bit of your backside, brief cut that will just cover all the cheeks, or shorties which go down the thigh some.  For an adorable detail you can also add a little bow/faux drawstring on the knit waistband.

You have the choice between a thinner or thicker binding for a more subtle or bold binding look.  Pick from a classic crew or a scoop neckline.  You can also decide between a super short sleeve (View A) or a short sleeve that is a bit longer (View B).  The shorts come in a classic super shorty length, like Chrissy and Janet donned with a 1″ inseam… but I also included a longer 3″ inseam for more coverage.  Wear this set as a cute loungewear or for a cute and comfortable everyday look.

The Sunnyside Sweater is a dolman-style sweater with a generous, oversized fit. It features two hem lengths, crop and high hip, both of which are finished with a waistband to draw the garment back to the body. Alternately, the crop length has an option to finish the waistline with a double drawstring, allowing the wearer to tie the drawstrings at both sides of the waist, providing a unique and adjustable look. Opt for a traditional neckband for a classic look or choose a hood for a more casual and cozy feel. One of the standout features is the ability to create a colorblocked bodice, giving you the opportunity to mix and match different fabric prints and colors, adding a playful and personalized touch to your sweater.

Pattern options for the Sunnyside Sweater includes:

• Necklines: Crew Neckline / Scoop Neckline (adult only) / Lined + Unlined Hoods
• Hem Lengths: Banded Cropped / Drawstring Cropped / Banded High Hip
• Colorblocked + Solid Bodice Options
• All Versions Feature a Drop-Shoulder Dolman Sleeve with Cuffs

The Sunnyside Sweater pattern is drafted for light-to-medium weight knit fabrics with no specific stretch requirements for the bodice. Due to the oversized design of the pattern, fabrics that drape nicely will work best. For bands, use a knit fabric with at least 75% stretch and good recovery.

Specific Fabric Suggestions: Sweater Knits, Ribbed Sweater Knits, Spandex French Terry Blends, Waffle Knits, Brushed Waffle Knits, Double Brushed Polyester, Modal Knit Blends, etc.

We wouldn’t leave you hanging without showing off some of the options first! Let’s take a quick peek!

HEM LENGTHS: BANDED CROPPED / DRAWSTRING CROPPED / BANDED HIGH HIP

BODICES: COLORBLOCKED / SOLID

NECKLINES: CREW NECKBAND / SCOOP NECKBAND (ADULT ONLY) / HOODED

We are looking forward to seeing the Sunnyside Sweaters you make for yourself, your family + your clients! Both patterns are available now and on sale (no code needed) through 11:59pm CST, March 3, 2024.
