Ruffled Oyster Sleeve Shift Dress
I come to you once again with Cielo Top hack. This time, into a dress with the most dramatic sleeve. I’ve always wanted garments that were fancy enough for a night out but could also be thrown on on days that I didn’t want to think of what to wear. I think a shift dress fits in this category well and to make it even better, I added ruffled oyster sleeves to complete it. The “oyster sleeve” simply refers to the shape of the sleeve…high in the front and low in the back.
My measurements: Bust 40”; Waist 34”; Hips 45”
Size sewn: 12 graded to 16 at the hips
Modifications: I lengthened the View A top and sleeves to achieve this look.I will also be uploading an IGTV video to show how I achieve the ruffled “oyster sleeve”.
Here are my other Cielo Top hacks:

When I find a pattern that works for me, I try to achieve as many different looks as possible. Why waste a good thing right?
Happy sewing,
