This 16th century Spanish colonial style is quick and easy to make, with just four pattern pieces. Make it as a below knee dress or a top of the thigh blouse, then fancy it up with the embroidery stitches on your sewing machine, or with other fun and colourful decoration. Suggested fabrics: Woven cottons and cotton blends, such as muslin, shirting, batiste and voile (for breezy, airy summer looks), damask, chambray, lightweight denim; rayons; lightweight linen and linen blends; silks and silk blends. Note: This pattern does not include embroidery patterns.
