The Aiken Polo Shirt & Dress just joined the Itch to Stitch family, and I’m so happy to finally share it with you! I’ve wanted to design a polo for a while now, and this one turned out even better than I imagined.

Here’s what I think you’ll love about the Aiken: it’s really several patterns in one. Want a quick everyday top? Sew the shirt. Want something you can throw on and instantly feel put together in? Sew the dress. Add sleeves for cooler days, or leave them off for summer. And if you want a little extra detail, that optional ruffle along the placket is such a sweet touch. This is the kind of pattern you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.

Aiken Polo Shirt & Dress Features

My testers did such a wonderful job with this pattern, and I love seeing how differently the Aiken can look from one fabric to the next. Take a look at their makes below. (Click photo to enlarge.)
