Tilly and the Buttons Stevie Tunic

Effortlessly stylish, Stevie is a classic contemporary top and tunic dress that's as easy to make as it is to wear - it's destined to be one of those wardrobe staple patterns you become addicted to! Stevie has a modern, boxy fit, and stylish grown-on sleeves with optional turn-up cuffs. A two-piece back yoke joins at the top either with ties that you can fasten into a cute bow or a classy button and loop closure. Like most Tilly patterns, there is a selection of patch pockets. You can make it either as a top with a stylish cropped hemline that hits the high hip, or as a tunic dress that finishes above the knee. We love that the simple, symmetrical neckline means you can wear it backwards or forwards! Yes, you just doubled your me-made outfit options.

Wear the dress with a statement necklace and sandals in the summer -- the easy-fitting shape will keep you cool as a cucumber on sticky hot days -- or, when it's colder, layer the dress over tights and a stripey top. Throw your top on with high-waisted jeans or shorts, the perfect pairing for the slightly cropped style. With versatile fabric options, you can easily take Stevie from relaxed casual vibes to bossing-it office wear!

Recommended Fabrics: Light- to medium-weight woven fabrics, such as linen, double gauze, chambray, cotton lawn, viscose, or rayon. If you’re a confident stitcher, try a luxurious sandwashed silk or crêpe de chine! Fabrics with body such as linen and chambray will give your garment a more structured shape, while opting for a drapey viscose or silk will give it a more flowy style.
