From Helen's Closet:
The Orchard Top and Dress is an effortless addition to any wardrobe. Orchard features spaghetti straps and a dartless a-line silhouette. Inseam pockets are included for the dress views. Sew Orchard in a drapey lightweight fabric for a flowy tank or sundress. Try it in a light cotton or linen for more structure and volume. The straps and bias finish can be sewn in a contrast fabric if desired. Orchard is an obvious choice for summer and it also works well for holidays and events. Pair Orchard with a t-shirt or turtleneck for the cooler months!
