The Cerena ladies romper pattern can be sewn as a top or a romper! Wear the top loose and flowing, or make it as a romper and choose from 3 different trouser lengths. For beginners there’s an easy and quick plain back option, but if you’d like a trickier sew pick the beautifully-finished back button placket option! A pattern with something for everyone.
The Details:
Gallery – See images from Instagram below. Or view our full tester gallery on our Facebook Page here: Cerena
Sizes – ladies’ sizes XXS to 5XL. See size chart in gallery for details.
Options – Top or romper. The romper has three length options (short, knee, and long) abd optional side seam pockets for knee and long length. The top option has an easy back or a trickier back button placket.
Skill Level:
- In a woven fabric this is more of an intermediate sew and uses an invisible zip to fasten the trouser section. The top of the romper has a necktie and will require snaps or buttons to fasten the back.
- In a knit/ stretch fabric this is a beginner sew and pulls on over the hips with no zip or openings on the trouser section. The top of the romper has a necktie and you can choose to have either a plain back or a placket with snaps or buttons to fasten.
Fabrics – This pattern is suitable for woven fabrics or knit/stretch fabrics.
If you use a fabric with a print or nap such as velvet, remember to cut all pieces in the same direction and to allow extra fabric for this.
See the fabric requirements in the gallery above for yardage. A serger/ overlocker is optional but NOT required.
Format – This trim-free pattern is a downloadable PDF and comes in A4 or US letter printable sizes. An A0 format (pattern pieces only) is also included should you wish to have your pattern printed professionally. PDF Layers allow you to select and print only the size/s you want.

I love the playful summer look on this romper. I will make a top too for sure because I loved how the top looked before attaching it to the romper too! You’ll enjoy this pattern for a long time!

Loved it!! I love a flowy top and this is perfect. Simple instructions make for a quick sew and ready to wear. Highly recommended!

1.) I sewed an invisible zipper and didn’t break anything or cry!
2.) I turned a necktie without needing wine!
In short, this is another amazing pattern that teaches you difficult skills but doesn’t overwhelm you with instructions. The YouTube video on how to install an invisible zipper is so helpful!
Honestly, I was done and didn’t realize I was. I hope people don’t shy away from sewing the woven because the instructions are extremely well-written and helped me get over my zipper anxiety.

This was a easy and quick sew to make up. I opted to do a Cerena top and i had it put together in less than an hour. The clear and concise instructions make it smooth sailing as does the addition of imagery. This pattern is just perfect for beginners and for the experienced seamstress alike. Another brilliant pattern by Rebecca Page. Cant wait to make up many more for the summer.

I was amazed at how quickly it came together. The final fit is an elegant, yet comfortable, ensemble that can easily transition from day to night. I would recommend this pattern as an easy sew for somebody looking for an eye catching addition to their wardrobe. I am excited about pairing it with cardigans as we move into fall!
