I love high low dresses and tops on our daughter and so does she. This skirt and this dress are her favourites. When I saw the Lucky Clover I knew our daughter would love it. The longer the top/dress the better and the twirl of the Lucky Clover top and skirt pattern from Ellie and Mac sewing patterns* is awesome according to our daughter. This time a high low top!
The Lucky Clover is a set and includes besides the top also a skirt. I love the set together, but in the end decided to start with the top. There are several options in the pattern. You can make a basic crop top, or add a flounce skirt to the top (like I did) and/or the sleeves. There are two skirt option, I used the circle skirt, but there is also a gathered skirt option. The circle skirt definitely uses a lot of fabric, but it is so worth it!
It is a rather quick sew, except for hemming the skirt. That takes a while. There is a 60% sale at Ellie anc Mac so you can get the Lucky Clover for less than $4 at the moment!
