Buy the Romey Gathered Dress and Top sewing pattern from Sew House Seven. Inspired by the beloved pattern, Romey features the same keyhole neckline (Remy version #2) and loose fit. The designer has added an elegant empire waist with a gathered skirt or peplum and billowy gathered sleeves at bracelet length. Both dress versions include patch pockets.
With its flowy and oversized fit, the Romey Gathered Dress and Top definitely qualifies as 'secret pyjamas'. It can be worn casually with sneakers, sandals or boots, or sew one up in a slinkier fabric for a more polished look.
Note: Use the pattern to add cross stitch embellishment to your Romey!
