- A light to mid weight woven such as silk, rayon, silk crepe, crepe de chine or silk satin will drape and swish about you as you move more.
- A woven with structure such as linen, poly cotton, or quilting cotton won't drape or follow the contours of the body as much, so it will give a boxier look. A garment with this type of fabric won't drape much and will stick out more.
- A woven heavyweight fabric such as denim.
- Knit fabric is also a good choice.
- OPTIONAL - Iron on interfacing - You will need for the front and back facings if you are doing the facing option (not the binding option). 1/4 yard will be more than sufficient for sizes 1-10 and 1/2 yard for sizes 6C-15C. If you are using knit/stretch fabric, make sure to use knit/stretch-specific interfacing. If you are using woven fabric, use a medium weight woven interfacing.
- OPTIONAL - If you are doing the neck binding option, you will need 1/2 inch wide single fold bias tape. You can use ready-made bias tape or you can make your own. If you are using ready-made bias tape, you will need stretch bias tape if you are using a knit fabric, and regular/normal woven bias tape if you are using woven fabrics.
- Thread to match.
- Sewing machine
- Scissors
- Pins or clips
- Tape measure or ruler
- Serger/Overlocker is optional but not required.

“This comfy, roomy dress is going to be a staple in my wardrobe.”

I’ve been searching for a pattern that hides my postpartum pooch and this is it! It doesn’t just hide, it’s super flattering on my figure. Super comfortable. Love how there are no zipper or buttons, just throw it over my head in the morning with some leggings and I am ready to go (great for mom life). Even my MIL commented how slim I look in it, and a comment like that is not easy to come by from her. The pattern is easy to follow and after my first one, I was able to sew my second in 2 hours from start to finish!

The Laura is a must have! Easy pattern and a very quick sew. I will be making more of these. Works with light woven and silky fabrics to get a great drape, but will also work with a bit stiffer fabric. I even see a denim version with a long sleeve t-shirt under it for winter. Very versitile!

Simply pleasant sew with beautiful end results.

This pattern was so easy and quick to make! It has a trendy shape that’s so flattering on. I made mine of a lighter weight woven but I plan to make one on a heavier fabric to wear over long sleep shirts in fall and winter… kind of a poncho/best hybrid thing. Love that this pattern can be made of woven or knit and has two options for finishing the neckline. I will be making plenty more!

Did the Laura in knit, binding option and tunic lenght. It is a very easy and quick sew. Instructions are clear and easy to understand. Fit is great, perfect to hide a little bit my post partum belly! Tunic length is perfectly pairs with a legging.

I really liked sewing the Laura, it’s such a quick and fun sew! This top, depending on how you wear it, can look casual or classy! You definitely need this in your wardrobe!!

The Laura is a wonderful pattern if you’re just learning to sew clothing or if you’re an experienced sewist. As always the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I absolutely love the professional finish of the french seams, and the high low hem adds something unique. This will be a staple in my wardrobe for a long time.

Easy to understand and a super quick sew for even a beginner sewist! I love the neck binding option for knits! I had never sewn a garment using neck binding previous to this and found the directions simple and the finished shirt so pleasing looking!! The fit is cute and unique looking! A must make for any capsule set!

A simple, detailed pattern, resulting in a lovely, relaxed fit, hi-lo hem top/tunic/dress.
The instructions are laid out well, with all the information required and pictures/diagrams for the different steps. All the terms are well explained so it’s suitable for a beginner sewist, through to much more accomplished crafters.

This dress is awesome! So simple but sophisticated.
Michelle Mason –
I love my tunic dress. I wore it through some of the summers hot days and I felt amazing in it and I love the back split at the bottom. I used a viscose challis and it worked easily with all seams enclosed.
Michelle –
Such a quick and easy sew! Super versatile and easy to hack or personalise. Super comfy to wear and great for everyday!
Melinda Bailey –
This is such a quick sew, loved making it and will be making more!
Layni Van Hyning –
I made a size small Laura out of knit and I loved how fast and easy it was! Being short I had to take out some length, I followed the directions on the Rebecca Page site and it fits perfectly! I also love that it has pockets!
