CAPSULE
This sweater dress, also convertible into a standalone sweater, represents the perfect blend of comfort and femininity. It will become a must-have, whether for cold days with its turtleneck or funnel neck, or for your elegant evenings with its round scoop neckline option, including a bare back (but compatible with a bra). The sleeve, either slim fitted and finished with or without a buttoned cuff, or wide and gathered at the wristband, adds the final touch of elegance to the design.

Fabulous Dress
Love this pattern! I made the high neck dress version in French Terry. The raglan sleeves made fitting very easy. The instructions are easy to follow and the video tutorial helps if you get stuck. I will definitely be making more versions - both as a dress and a top.

Capsule pattern is fantastic!
Well drafted pattern as all the patterns are in this line. Personally, I love the funnel neck option. The fit is perfect. I am complimented every time I wear one of my Capsule tops. Making a dress from this lovely pattern is next on my list.
