Francis Flounce – Youth

This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.

The Francis Flounce is a tank top featuring a v-neck on both the front and back necklines. It includes a fun flounce in three different lengths and a stunning a-line silhouette. The pattern is fitted at the bust, semi-fitted at the waist and swings out at the hips, with four different hem lengths ranging from a crop top to a maxi dress. The flounce adds extra flair to an everyday tank top and is the perfect pattern to take you from a casual summer look to something a little more dressed up.

Options Include:

• Four Hem Lengths: Crop, Top, Dress + Maxi
• Three Flounce Lengths: Small, Medium + Large
• Optional Plain Neckline (no flounce)
• Front + Back V-Neck
• Binding finishes on arm + neckline openings

The Francis Flounce Pattern is drafted for light-to-medium weight knit fabrics with at least 40% horizontal stretch. Fabrics that have good recovery and drape nicely will work best for this pattern. Especially with the dress and maxi lengths, avoid fabrics with poor recovery and that grow over time. Thinner fabrics will have better bounce and drape for use with the flounces, avoid using fabrics that are on the thicker side.

For binding, use a knit fabric with 50% stretch and good recovery.

Specific Fabric Suggestions: Rayon Spandex, Brushed / Double Brushed Polyester, ITY, DTY, Lighter-Weight Cotton Lycra, Bamboo Lycra, Yummy Ribbed Knit, Modal, etc.
