Keep Calm and Love Laura - The Rebecca Page Laura Top and Dress Sewing Pattern

The Rebecca Page Laura Top (and dress) pattern is a lovely sew and the perfect pattern for your lightweight fabrics!

It includes the following options:
- Sizing from XXS to 5Xl
- Top or short Dress length
- Knits or woven fabrics can be used
- dropped shoulders
- High low hem
- Optional pockets



 

I am not normally one to wear higher cut tops, but the high front is on par, and the lower back covers my caboose, so I'm happy with the overall fit. 

The armcycle is very comfortable and not tight in any way - either on the shoulder or around the arm itself.  

The neck facing offers many options - I opted for the interfacing version with overstitching, and it was easy to follow the instructions.   

 


Lots of pictures and verbiage definitely will help the beginner sewist gain more confidence while sewing and learning new skills - new skills are one of the reasons I keep sewing with Rebecca Page!

I used a light viscose/woven rayon type fabric from Fabricland for my Laura and can't wait to sew more up (can someone give me more time in the day!?!). 

I paired my Laura with my altered Slim Fit Cargo Pants for a nice untucked look:


 

And with my slimmed down Posy Pants (4" off the side seams) as a tucked in top for the office:

 


So many ways to encorporate Laura into your wardrobe whether you are an experienced or new sewist. 

Follow the instructions, grade the pattern (after measuring yourself!) and have fun with Laura!  

***Affiliate Links Above used - I love these patterns, and without the help of those who love their patterns, marketing would be extremely difficult for the pattern makers we love and learn to love. Affiliate links help with the hours, fabric, and tears that go behind testing each pattern in order to provide a real-person view on the patterns for you (and me!)
