Marilyn Monroe Dress Pattern
$0.00
Designed with Seacolors by Pat Roinstad, Updated by Linda Fisher
This favorite is for the “girl” of any age. An accent color can be used as a “peekaboo” under the picot hem. Single color, or simple stripe belt, or color blocked as you see here, this fun layer takes your shape and fits your life. Mine hits at mid calf, so I can sit in the snow and still stay warm, or keep from showing off my bum. Worn with pants, or tights and boots, it goes everywhere: Yoga, skiing, curling, out to the barn or to supper… thank goodness it’s machine washable! Can also do it as a skirt, without the top, and make an elastic waist or i-cord tie.
