Breeze from day to night with the Rivermont Dress and Top, a chic sewing pattern designed for curves with cup sizes from C – H.
Choose from two sophisticated options: a fitted sheath dress with slash pockets and optional kick pleat, or a classic peplum top that highlights your curves. Both views offer three sleeve lengths - short, elbow or long - and are designed for ponte or other heavy knits, so you’ll look stylish while also being totally comfortable. Whether unwinding at happy hour or turning heads on date night, the Rivermont is just your style!
