Nikko Top and Dress- True Bias

The Nikko pattern is perfect for medium weight knit fabric with an approximate 75% stretch such as rib knit, sweater knit, bamboo knit, or stretch velvet. All four versions of this advanced beginner pattern have a simple and stylish mock turtleneck.

Views A and B are tops with a fitted silhouette that is perfect to pair with a high waisted bottom like the Lander pattern.

Views C and D are straighter through the waist and hip, extending to the ankle, with knee-length side slits to complete the dress.

Views A and C are both sleeveless, cut to resemble a racerback, but with enough coverage to wear a regular bra.

Views B and D have long fitted sleeves that reach the wrist.

In addition to the fabric you will need: Coordinating thread, a ball point sewing machine needle, 1/4” clear elastic (1/2 yd). (Optional: twin stretch sewing needle, fusible stretch) tape.
