Marine Knit Top + Dress Pattern

Description Channel your inner “je ne sais quoi" with the Marine Top + Dress, our twist on an iconic Breton marinière. With a gently flared sleeve, slouchy fit, dropped shoulder, and classic details like a wide bateau neckline, topstitched facing, and split hem, you’ll feel like you stepped right out of a French New Wave film in this chic knit top or dress. View A is a top with a wrist-skimming sleeve and a shoulder-wide facing enclosed in the armscye. View B is a dress with 3/4 length sleeves and a standard neckline facing.

Cup size = difference between full and high bust (1"=A, 2"=B, 3"=C, 4"=D). If your difference exceeds 4", you may need a full bust adjustment. If your difference is smaller, you may need a small bust adjustment. Note: even if your numeric size overlaps with the 0-20 range, body measurements are not the same — always size by measurements, not past size.
