The Miramar dress, top, & tunic bring together super-easy knit sewing and design features that makes them just a bit more elegant than a T-shirt, while being just as comfortable to wear. All three garments feature a V-neck with self-collar, and short or 3/4 length cut-on sleeves. The top sits at mid-hip, and the tunic at mid-thigh. The dress loosens below the hips to form a softly flared skirt that ends at the knee. 

The Miramar is a perfect introduction to sewing with knits. It is also a satisfyingly quick-make for the more experienced sewist. 

Recommended Fabrics:

The Miramar is designed for midweight knits - cotton, wool, rayon, and polyester - with at least 30% stretch in both directions (four-way stretch). Fabrics should stretch from at least 10cm to 13cm (30%) along the width AND the length. Otherwise the garment will bind around the arms. Fabrics with soft stretch, rather than firm stretch, work best. Additional fabric length is required for directional prints.
