Brenda’s Bow Back Top and Dress
Sizes 2t – 12

This top and dress features a very unique back. The beautful bows really make the dress stand out. If you are not keen on bows, skip them for a strappy back look. Brenda now includes a modesty back panel for those who would like a little more back coverage. Brenda’s features 2 lengths, tunic and dress. You can choose from a simple gathered skirt, gathered skirt with accent strip and hem band or gathered skirt with accent strip and ruffle. It also has 4 sleeve lengths- sleeveless, short, 3/4 and long. This dress is perfect for special occassions and holidays or even just everyday wear. With no buttons or closures, this is a fairly fast / easy sew.

This dress was super easy and did not take very long at all! I did the long sleeved option, and I cannot wait to make the other sleeve lengths as well. Such a fun dress!
