Intermediate

Sizes: EUR 32-56 | US 0-24 | UK 4-28 | Size chart

The Asteri sewing pattern includes two options: an elegant sleeveless midi dress, and a stylish vest top. Both variations are unlined, and feature a princess cut, V-neck, and buttoning at the front. The dress has discreet in-seam side pockets, and the vest comes with distinctive patch pockets on the hips. The waist pleats give a nice volume to the pencil skirt of the dress, while the split back hem ensures comfort. The vest includes buckled tab at the back waist for adjusting ease.
