The Annie Dress modified to top
January 13, 2016
Annie Top (modified straps) in seersucker Japanese 100% cotton Ripple Spot (Navy still available at Chatswood and Melbourne stores only) |
We’ve had such a fabulous response to our recently released Annie Dress that we wanted to show you how great this pattern can also look as a top.
Gabby and I made our versions (above and below) with the thin straps using the modified tutorial shown here.
Annie Top (modified straps) in Black Ripple Square bodice/Black Hartford Linen worn together with Black Hartford Robbie Pants |
Lisa’s version, pictured below, was made using a fine embroidered cotton
voile from her stash. Being so sheer and lightweight, she lined and faced
everything using our Hartford White linen.
Once finished she over-dyed it using our Crimson iDye, soaking for an hour (as opposed to the recommended half hour) to get a deeper shade.
You girls must have read my mind, my mum and I were talking about doing this just yesterday afternoon 🙂
Perfect little top, love all your versions 🙂
Lovely! Was also thinking about a top version. Thanks again Tessuti for a winner pattern
What thread to use if one is intending to over-dye a garment after sewing? I presume cotton or silk? Can you check with Lisa which one she used?
Hi Helga,
I used a cotton thread, knowing that I would overdye it after making my top. I needed the thread to dye easily with my natural iDye
