Midori Knit Top and Skirt Set

Create a striking, figure-flattering outfit with the Midori Dolman Top & Mermaid Hem Skirt Set — a modern knit two-piece set designed for elegance, comfort, and movement. This sewing pattern includes a relaxed dolman sleeve top with a softly fitted waist and a dramatic mermaid hem skirt with fan-shaped godets that create beautiful flare and motion at the hem. The Midori Set combines effortless comfort with a sleek silhouette, making it perfect for date nights, vacations, parties, special occasions, resort wear, or elevated everyday outfits. The pattern is designed specifically for knit fabrics, allowing the outfit to hug the body comfortably while remaining easy to wear. The bold vertical stripe sample shown in the listing highlights the sculptural silhouette and dramatic godet details, but the design also looks beautiful in solids, abstract prints, rib knits, jersey, ponte, ITY, bamboo knits, sweater knits, and other drapey stretch fabrics.
