Top
Skill Level – Beginner
Options – ‘Plain Back’ or ‘Button Placket’ which uses buttons or snaps to fasten
Romper
Skill Level:
- In a woven fabric 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.
- Knit / stretch fabric is a beginner level 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.
Options –
- The romper has three leg length options: short, knee, and long leg lengths. For the knee and long length rompers, there are also optional side seam pockets. The short length does not work with the pockets.

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!
