Buy the Prescott Dress sewing pattern from Hey June Handmade. The Prescott Dress is a casual, knit, racerback dress in two lengths. View A sits right above the knee and View B extends to the mid-calf, or tea-length. View B features side slits on both sides to aid in movement. Both views have an optional built-in shelf bra and are fitted at the upper bust and strap area with positive ease through the bust, waist, and hip. The elastic can also be omitted, leaving a simple facing instead of a shelf bra. The 14 – 30 size range has a bust dart. Prescott is perfect for dressing up with jewellery and heels or dressing down with a denim jacket and sneakers.
