Style Arc Kitt knit dress

I sewed this one some time ago, just as the weather was getting cold!  I haven’t had the opportunity to wear it yet, but I love it.

It’s quite intriguing that there are so many versions of knit sack dresses around. A few tweaks in shaping here and there, and I jump on board to try another pattern! This is the Style Arc Kitt knit dress.

From the Style Arc website: This is the perfect throw on dress with its slight cocoon shape, extended shoulder line, patch pockets and a shaped hemline. Kitt Knit Dress is a simple make and has a loose fit. FABRIC SUGGESTION: Knit jersey, slinky, T shirt knit fabric

As you can see from the line drawing, this is simple. Front, back, narrow neck binding, patch pockets. I sewed size 12.

The pockets have a nice amouont of drape in this fabric. It’s a gold foiled print on a dark navy knit base – and yes, it was a remnant. I found it at Darn Cheap Fabrics.

This is such a simple style that it really lets the fabric be the star. Depending on what you choose to sew it in it could be super casual or quite dressed up. The neckline binding is quite narrow, and is completely turned to the inside then topstitched in place. It’s a very neat finish. I used double sided fusible tape on the sleeve and dress hems before topstitching them in place.

Definitely another pattern to put in the ‘winner’ pile!  A couple of these would be excellent additions to a summer holiday suitcase – if we ever get to go away on summer holidays again, that is!
