Charlotte
Introducing the versatile and stylish Charlotte pattern: a 4-in-1 design that allows you to create a cropped top, long top, tunic, or dress. Perfect for summer, the Charlotte is a sleeveless garment featuring a flattering square neckline and a high waistline adorned with a beautiful lace belt. The eye-catching moss stitch upper body elegantly transitions into a diamond lace pattern for the lower body, culminating in a chic crochet edge hem. Whether you prefer a short and sassy cropped top or an elegant, flowy dress, you have the freedom to choose from four distinct length options to suit your style!
This delightful pattern is available in a wide range of sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7, 8), with finished bust circumferences measuring 74 (84, 94, 105) (115, 125, 135, 145) cm / 29 (33, 37, 41) (45, 49, 53, 57) inches. Designed to be worn with 0-5 cm (0-2 inches) of negative ease, the sample showcased is in size 2, featuring 2 cm (1 inch) of negative ease for that perfect snug fit.
