Georgia Top or Dress (August 11)

The Georgia is a perfect closet staple. A basic, boxy tee style that can be used a base pattern for endless variations. Make this style in various weight fabrics for year-round wear. Perfectly scooped neckline hits right at the collarbone and doesn’t show bra straps. Substantial cuffs give weight and luxury to the piece but are very straightforward to construct.

It’s boxy silhouette has a modern, utilitarian feeling while still remaining soft and fluid. This pattern includes all three length options: the Georgia Tee, Georgia Dress, and Georgia Midi.

The Georgia Tee is a simple, slightly cropped, easy cut can be paired with just about anything. Plus, it looks great half tucked. 

The Georgia Dress hits just above the knee, and the hem dips a bit longer in the back. You can lounge, explore a city, or sprint after a toddler in this dress. Serves as a dress, tunic, or coverup—it's up to you.

The Georgia Midi hits mid-calf, and the hem is slightly longer in the back than in the front. This dress is meant for road trips along the coast, layered over flowing trousers for balmy evening or paired with bare feet for lazy afternoons indoors with a good book.
