View Sizing Chart

Riley is a simple and sophisticated dress and top perfect for summer dressing!  This double layer tank has a high front neckline and thin straps that are perfectly balanced by the scoop back neckline. The top layer is shorter than the bottom, allowing the bottom fabric to peek out from under the top.  

The back also features a split down the center for a sweet peek-a-boo!  Two lengths are included: a hip length top and dress that hits just above the knee. 

Riley is paired with Avery Pants/Shorts in this listing. Avery is sold separately and also as a Bundle with Riley.

Riley dress

Loved the dress!! The pattern was very easy to follow. I sew for the girls in Africa. I know they’ll love it❤️

I found the pattern easy to follow. My only complaint is the pattern only has directions to hem one section of the dress. I have sewn long enough to know how and when to hem the other sections but I could see where that could be confusing for a beginner. Also, I think the instructions would have been easier to follow if the bottom layer of fabric was not white. All in all I think the dress is adorable!

This cute pattern was an easy project. The directions are clear and I really appreciate being able to select layers so I only print the size I am using! I paired the top with Riley shorts

Riley dress a winner

I loved the layered look of the dress, and found it easy to make and the result was very professional looking. I made two for my granddaughters, and they loved them. I found piecing the pattern a bit of a challenge, but once done, it was fun to work with.

Such a pretty top

I had a little problem reading the pattern but it was my misunderstanding of the instructions. However I have made this too twice now both very different and my granddaughter loves them both.
