Bohemian Breeze by Dollhouse Designs brings back the carefree style of the early 1970s. This relaxed style ruled the fashion world for a time, combining an unstructured feel with a nod toward other cultures and simpler times.
The Crop Top sports an elastic “peasant neckline” with long belled sleeves gathered on the upper arm. Choice of a higher or lower neckline included. If preferred, apply elastic at the sleeve hem and lower top. The breezy sleeves are paired with a cropped waistline. A third sleeve option for short elasticized sleeves is also included.
Not to be overlooked, the Maxi Skirt is all about making a statement with the utmost casual grace. It would make a great modern skirt since the waistline is slightly dropped.
Both pieces close in back with hook and loop tape or your preferred
closure. Or if you prefer, combine both pieces in an easy to sew Dress!
An irresistible Floppy Hat is the perfect topper to this bohemian chic design, as well as with other summer styles. With 2 Brim sizes & 2 Crown styles to mix and match, its versatility will have you reaching for this design again and
again. Try it in a variety of fabrics to go with many of your favorite ensembles.
The look of the early 70s was often layered, with a mixed palette. A Scarf & Tie-On Hat Trim is included to finish the outfit in retro perfection.
