Sculptural top or mid length dress with cape-like sleeves

Description

Create a striking piece with the Phillips Woven Top and Dress sewing pattern, featuring a sculptural cape-like silhouette and elegant design details. Choose between a round or V-neckline, a hip-length top or mid-length dress, with a straight body that can be worn loose or customised with an optional elasticated back casing for subtle shaping. The unique raglan sleeves form a dramatic back yoke, while shaped elbow-length sleeves and side splits complete the contemporary look.

Designed for woven fabrics with beautiful drape such as Tencel, rayon, silk charmeuse or velvet, this versatile sewing pattern is perfect for creating modern everyday wear or elevated occasion pieces. With optional inseam pockets on the dress and flexible back opening options, Phillips offers effortless style with a distinctive designer-inspired edge.

Features

Round neck OR V neck option
Invisible zip OR hook & eye at centre back
Raglan style sleeves at the front create a yoke at the back
Shaped elbow length sleeves sit lower at the back
Top option is cut from the dress pattern (cut line)
Optional inseam pockets (dress only)
Straight body with the option for an elastic casing at the back
Side splits in hem

Please note: This style is designed with a straight silhouette and minimal positive ease. Check the finished garment hip measurements carefully, and if you prefer a more relaxed fit, you may wish to size up.

a************t (verified owner) – August 31, 2026:

It’s a pretty pattern, different and interesting – but I am not sure ure, I am going to sew it again. The yoke is pretty, but rumbly to attach and the overall pattern is – well, different. Maybe it was the fabric I used, it was a cotton, very good for blouses etc. Maybe it was too stiff for the pattern. Plus: I missed a video instruction for the v-neck version. I figured it out eventually, but a little help would have been appreciated.

All in all: if one likes this kind of pattern, you might be happy with the Philips. I did not become friends with it.
- Style Arc – September 4, 2026:
  
  Thank you for your honest and detailed review. We appreciate you sharing both what you enjoyed about the Philips and where you found the sewing process challenging.
  
  The yoke and V-neck construction can be a little more involved, and we understand how helpful a specific video tutorial would have been. We’ll take your feedback on board as we continue to improve our construction support and tutorials.
  If you ever need further support during the process you can always email us at enquiries@stylearc.com
  
  We recomend a fabric with some drape so a softer, more fluid woven fabric may help rather than a stiff cotton.
  
  Thank you again for giving the Philips a try and for sharing your experience with other sewists!

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
