Victory Patterns Trina Dress and Blouse

Buy the Trina Dress and Blouse sewing pattern from Victory Patterns. Trina is a classic wrap dress and top that features gathers above the bust and a cross-over front bodice that creates a deep V-neckline. The raglan sleeve transitions into a boxy, flowing shape. At the sides, the bodice front overlaps the back, allowing the tie to exit and wrap around the natural waist.

Version 1: Create a tunic with the hemline ending just below the hip. The tie in this version is made with a contrasting fabric.

Version 2: Create a dress with a hemline ending just below the knee. You may choose to line the skirt portion of this dress.
