Two-Piece Set with A-Line Midi Dress and Cropped Buttoned Top

This coordinated two-piece pattern pairs a sleeveless A-line midi dress with a cropped button-up shirt designed to be worn as an overlay. The dress skims the body through the bodice and widens gently toward the hem, while the short buttoned shirt adds structure and coverage over the shoulders. Worn together the pieces read as a polished set, and each garment also stands on its own for a more relaxed look.

Crisp, stable wovens suit this silhouette best. Cotton poplin, linen, chambray, twill, or a light denim will hold the A-line shape and give the cropped shirt a clean button band and collar. Lighter fabrics create a softer drape for warm weather, while mid-weight options carry the set into cooler months. The combination works for the office, weekend errands, travel, and daytime events.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter or A4 paper (one file for both), and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
