Liesl + Co. - Amarena Dress
A relaxed, classic pull-on dress with a gentle A-line shape, V neck, and cup sizes for ease of fitting. Choose from View A with cuffed short sleeves, a flattering shawl collar, and shaped welt pockets or View B, which has bracelet-length sleeves and curved side pockets. Easy to wear and great for layering in cooler weather, this style is appropriate for all seasons. Bonus: This pattern also includes a cut line to make a top if you eliminate the pockets.
