It’s a great pattern, easy and quick, imperfections are all hidden. 🙂 And it hides the baby bump. 🙂
Nadine Simard (verified owner) –
It was really quick to do! I would recommend this pattern for a swim cover all for sure.
Chrys Elrod (verified owner) –
I loved seeing the shirt come together. I ended up with a perfect spaced design which was nice also. Choose the right fabric.

Buy it !

I REALLY love this pattern! I usually prefer knit tops but this will get me through pregnancy/nursing and beyond. The silhouette is flattering on a multitude of body shapes and sizes which is rare in PDF patterns these days. I whole-heartedly love this pattern.
Kasey Ray-Stokes (verified owner) –
I love having a pattern that uses wovens for apparel. I’ve been in a knit fabric rut for a while! I would say that it is great as a cover-up or over a tank. It’s easy to nurse my daughter in it.
Devon Christian (verified owner) –
It brought back a lot of traditional sewing techniques that I feel are being forgotten with so many knit patterns available. (French seams, interfacing) Fabric selection will play a huge role in how this shirt fits and seriously consider a music on a similar fabric to play with fit and machine/serger settings.
Jennifer Lichak (verified owner) –
Want a different silhouette than what is out there? Try the Floaty Florence! This is such a versatile top. Made without any modifications and with fabric that drapes well this will be a go to shirt that can be dressed up or be casual. It may camouflage certain mid section parts of us and accentuate others. Want a more cinched in look? Add the button holes/belt loops! Lower the neckline! Finicky fabric? use bias binding for the neckline. This is a great top to modify, making it something you’ll reach for again and again.

I learned how to make beautiful side seams. Easy and quick sew, perfect for woman with curves.
Donna Jones –
I made my floaty Florence in a patterned georgette. I made a straight size L and I gave made the ties but I’m not sure if I’m adding the buttonholes or not yet, I’m going to wear it a little and see how it works for me! This was so simple to sew! The hardest part was the cutting out! As always, excellent instructions that make even tricky parts simple. I especially loved the hacks included at the end! They make the Florence super versatile! Who would have thought to add a cowl and make a winter warmer?! Might be my winter wardrobe staple!
Frieda Flavianu –

Adelle Pears –
I absolutely adore this pattern! It’s a quick easy make with brilliant instructions as usual. It’s incredibly flattering and lovely to wear AND it comes with a load of ideas on how to hack it. What’s not to love?
Angel Pooley –
Super cute floaty top with so many possibilities. All the hack suggestions were great, I chose to do it with a shirred waist and in love with the results!!
Stacey Williams –
Lots of lovely options with this one. An easy sew and a great fit. This is a great staple for summer.

Kellie J –
This floaty too is so comfortable and comes together really quickly. It’s a simple sew with really easy to understand instructions.
Sandy Simpson –
I love this top. We are in the middle of winter here and I wore my Floaty Florence over a merino top today and I felt so elegant. The top has a floaty, boho feel to it while still retaining quite a corporate look. I used a chiffon – the devil’s fabric – and although it made attaching the facing a challenge, I love the flow and drape of the top. My next one will be out of lace.
Branka Čelić –
Floaty Florence patern was an easy sew even for a beginner (without button holes and belt). Perfect for comfy but stylish outfit. Even good for pregnancy.

Kyra Delaney –
If you skip the button holes and belt this is such a simple sew! If you’re ready to take on button holes it’s a bit harder. Overall the directions are awesome and the top feels amazing!
Jill Cook –
Very easy and simple top to make. Good instructions and end result. I made mine in a soft chiffon but I can see it in a heavier weight for colder months. The only thing I will do next time is make it a little longer. As a plus size lady I prefer to cover up lol
Jill Cook –
Very easy and simple to make . I made it in a soft drap fabric but i could see it in a warmer weight for cooler months.
Nicki Hibbits –
Florence is a super quick sew with the added bonus of not having to fiddle with fitting. The loose design amazingly still provides evidence of a flattering silhouette even without the ties. The modification and hack ideas included with the pattern provide a variety of options to try making Florence another pattern I’m going to sew more than once!
Pamela Turner Munnerlyn –
This was a very easy sew. Made in less than a day but I enjoyed making it very much. I will be making more of these and love that there are several different ways you can do this top. So very comfortable to wear.
Salomé Goncalves –
Easy pattern for beginners, mostly straight lines to sew and in the end you get a flattering top for most body types!
Juliana Garibaldi-Appelhof –
Floaty Florence is easy to sew and perfect to wear in Summer !!!
Connie Lusto –
This top is so flattering, and it lays beautifully. I love that it can be dressed up with skinny Jean’s and heels and still be super comfortable!
Annika Ashfield –
This came together so quickly. I will be getting a serger soon and can’t wait to fly through one with a serger as it will be even faster. The pattern has so many options to make the shape your own but I love it baggy and flowy.
Sue Glas-Parrott –
This is a fun pattern that is easy to construct, lets you showcase a lovely fabric, and lets you dress it up or down depending on how you wear it.
Susan Pearson –
What a fun pattern! Easy sew, learned a few new techniques, which is always fun. My daughter loves it.

Sewing the Strappy Cami for my wardrobe was just what I needed today! Tucked under the Floaty Florence, I have a new outfit to wear to church on Sunday. Thanks for great patterns!
SSeem Sing –
Super easy make
Deb Sendelbach –
Super easy and fun sew. Can be worn alone or with a nice turtleneck underneath. Great pattern for beginners
Tiina Norrkniivilä –
An easy and fast pattern that can be varied in several ways. Remember to not do the buttonholes bigger than you need if you haven’t planned to wear an additional shirt under. I’d recommend a fabric with a nice drape to get a more festive look.
June Butchee –
The Floaty Florence is a nice easy sew. One can be whipped up in no time. A cool, breezy, floaty top. There are so many things that you can do with it. It can be a swim cover-up, a casual top or a dressy top or just a nice, cool, comfortable. summer top. There is a section in the instructions that give you lots of different options.
Maja –
Comfy wear, quick sew.
Rachel Loper –
So easy and love all of the varieties you can make from the same pattern!
Laura Murray –
This is such a quick and easy sew, and you can play around with the design using different fabrics and with the belt options. I opted to do mine with an empire/maternity belt as I am pregnant, so it’ll be perfect during my pregnancy and after. It’s such a pretty top, I will definitely be making more!
Cindi Connors –
This pattern was simple – but I made the wrong fabric choice for it! What I chose slid and slipped and stretched every which way and I had no choice but to continue and complete the sew with it since I had no other fabric to use and no time to order more!
