Meet the Myra

Say hello to our newest release, the Myra Top & Dress! I’m so excited to release this pattern, it’s not only a versatile garment, it’s an excellent skill builder as well. To celebrate the launch, we’re offering 20% off the Myra Top & Dress from now until Sunday September 17th at 11:59 CDT. No code is required, simply add the pattern to your cart and the discount will be applied at checkout.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let's talk about Mrya! When designing this pattern we wanted to create a simple, yet interesting, slip-dress inspired garment. Because we love interesting details and style lines, rather than a simple front and back, we created beautiful angled seam detailing that wraps around the bodice. Both size ranges of the Myra feature bust darts that echo the line of the angled seam and give you an easy starting point for adjustments.

The front and back necklines of the Myra Top & Dress are both square which gives the garment an updated and modern look without it being too trendy. This neckline is beautiful on its own, but also pairs well with cardigans, blazers, and overshirts. Delicate spaghetti straps sit gracefully in the dip of your shoulders and the length is easily adjustable for your specific body. 

We’ve included three lengths in this pattern. View A hits at high hip and pairs well with high waisted jeans, pants, and skirts. View B hits just above the knee and looks great with flowy and slightly more structured fabrics alike. Both Views A and B feature a turned-and-stitched hem. View C is the longest of the three hitting at mid-calf. This version features a slightly deeper hem with a split at the side to aid in walking. I love this version paired with clogs and a cardigan.

The Myra is available as a PDF in our shop in both of our size ranges, 0-18 B-Cup and 14-32 D-Cup. If you need assistance with deciding which size range is right for you, take a peek at our new and improved sizing page. And as always, we’re happy to answer any questions you might have over email.

There is so much more to say about this cute, fun little pattern, but we’ll save that for future posts. Stay tuned for inspiration, fabric ideas, construction tutorials, and pattern alterations and variations! In the meantime our Myra hashtags are #GrainlineMyra and #GrainlineStudio. Hope you all enjoy this pattern as much as I have been!
