Holmen Pattern
The pattern has a babydoll style front with loose fitting gathered tiers, and skinny shoulder straps. The open back has a deep gathered cut, and is connected with ties.
Holmen Sewing level: Advanced Beginner/ Intermediate
This pattern is an advanced beginner/ intermediate level. The most difficult techniques used to create this garment are gathering the front and back, and creating and adjusting the straps.
Fabric type: This style works with a wide variety of lightweight to medium woven, non stretchy fabrics. Choose fabric with some hold, such as cotton poplin, sateens, linens or even jacquard, brocade or organza fabrics, for a more dramatic and voluminous style. Using more drapey fabrics, such as cotton batiste or viscose fabrics will result a more romantic and flowy dress or top. Sheer fabrics are fine as the top or dress is partly or fully lined. Lining: Either use the same fabric as your main fabric or choose a lining fabric. We recommend to match the drape and hold of your main fabric.
Sizing & fabric requirements: See photos.
Notions: Thread, and approximately ½ meter (19 5/8") of soft, narrow (5-10 mm or 1/4-3/8") and non-stretch ribbon or fabric tape (not bias tape), such as cotton webbing, soft cotton tape, grosgrain, sateen, or velvet.
Techniques used: Gathering, and creating and adjusting straps.
The PDF pattern consists of multiple PDF documents: Instructions, pattern with bodice and upper tiers (size 34-46, 46-60 and 60-74) and pattern with lower tiers (size 34-46, 46-60 and 60-74). All sizes comes in A0 file format and A4 file format.

Marselis Pattern
The versatile Marselis pattern can be dressed up or down depending on your choice of sleeve length, and fabric. This PDF includes a pattern for a sleeveless, short sleeved, and long sleeved version.
The body of the top and dress nearly forms a full circle, resulting in a loose and flowy fit. All versions cut just above the bust and you have the option of sleeveless halter-style ties, short drop-shoulder sleeves or long sleeves with elasticated wrists. The dress version cuts just above the knees and the top cuts at the hip.
Marselis Sewing level: Advanced beginner
This pattern is a advanced beginner’s level. The most difficult techniques used to create this garment are fitting the skirt to the bodice, and attaching bias binding/facing. The pattern also includes a guide for making your own bias tape.
Fabric type: This pattern works with a wide variety of lightweight to medium woven, non stretchy fabrics. Choose a light and airy fabric for a breezy look, such as voile, cotton batiste, gauze, swiss dot, lightweight linens, georgette or chiffon. Using more drapey fabrics, such as crepe, crepe de chine, rayon challis, satin and charmeuse will result a more romantic and flowy dress or top. The pattern does not include lining.
Sizing & fabric requirements: See photos.
