As a crop-top or shirt dress, Zak is an elegant pattern as well as modern and timeless, with nice finishing touches. The gathers under the (front and back) yokes give it a unique flair with a touch of retro. Comfort is in a not-too-tight waistband and a slightly loose fit. Many variations are offered such as:

       - A V neckline that can either be modest or deep,

       - The bodice can be sewn with flounce(s) (single or double) or without,

       - The armholes can be sleeveless or be adorned with short sleeves with cuffs or with cap sleeves,

       - The bodice is fully lined, but you can choose to leave the skirt unlined: it will depend on your choice of fabric and the effect you want to achieve.

With this many variations, there is no doubt you will enjoy sewing this pattern again and agai
