Kathryn Top & Dress Digital Sewing Pattern (PDF)
US$12.00
Kathryn Top & Dress can be made casual or slightly more formal depending on the fabric used. When made with a cotton jersey or interlock fabric, the top can be paired with your favorite shorts or jeans for a perfect summer outfit. When made with a slinky knit, Kathryn can be your go-to dress for a date night out. The three sets of pleats along the round neckline provides interest to an otherwise simple garment. An empire-waist seam visually elongates your legs, yet the natural waist is shaped, so your curves are not buried. There’s no sleeve to sew, but your upper arm is covered by the extended shoulder.
Kathryn Top & Dress features:
- Wide, round neckline with six pleats
- Empire-waist seam to visually elongate your legs
- Shaped at natural waist to show your curves
- Extended shoulders covering your upper arms
- Lined upper front
- Options to make a dress or a top
- A-line flared skirt ends at the knee
- Layers feature–print only the sizes you need
Skill Level: Beginner++
Sizes: 00 – 20 (See “Size Chart” tab below for detailed measurements)

The Kathryn is a great fitting tee with lovely details. It’s an easy sew and goes with almost anything.

I am actually wearing one of my makes of this (as a top) right now, so I think I like the pattern. Flattering and comfortable, looks finished enough for work. I love that the neckline facings are woven and ROCK SOLID. No sagging or drooping with the very light rayon knit that I used. The bodice double layer feels a bit thick on the regular t shirt weight knit version I made, but feels fine with light weight rayon. Looking forward to making more!

Simple and elegant.

I found the neckline too broad for my liking.

The Katherine top is another beautiful pattern from Itch to Stitch. I was looking for a summer jersey top that was pretty and flattering and the Katherine was a perfect choice. The instructions (as always!) were excellent. The pleats may look a bit tricky but the construction was very straight forward. I’ve already made two and have plans for a few more!

I’ve just finished my second Katherine top and gave several more planned for the summer. I wanted a pretty jersey summer top with some interesting features and this one is absolutely perfect. Looks lovely with skirts and trousers and looks very pretty under a cardigan. Instructions (as always) were superb.

I actually haven’t downloaded it yet; I wish I could have it printed full size. My printer only handles 8×11.

The pattern fits well and the explanations are clear. I’ll wear the garment a lot (and I’ll make it several times)

Love the neckline on this.
Elizabeth –
I love the pattern & detailed instructions. It is so easy to download & print. I have a mac, however & haven’t figured how to just print my size but it’s not a problem. Thanks again & I love supporting indie business!

Hi Elizabeth, you probably opened it on the Safari browser only, so the layers feature is not available. You have to download the file to your computer (there’s download icon on the upper right of the browser). Then you can open it up in Adobe Acrobat Reader, where you can use the layers feature. Give that a try! ?
Betty –
Awesome
Tiffany –
The size chart is perfect for this dress

This top is one I’m getting ready to make again for the Sew Seasonal Wardrobe contest. I’ve made both the top and dress version of this pattern already and both are my favorite things to wear! This style is so very comfortable and I love the detail on the neck. Kennis makes top notch patterns and her instructions are detailed enough that anyone could sew up any of her patterns. Don’t hesitate to buy this one!
