About:Â
The Navarro Dress, Top, and Skirt is quite literally an entire wardrobe in one pattern. With three skirt lengths and three sleeve lengths to choose from, you can choose a light weight short sleeve hoodie for the summer heat or a long sleeve skirted Maxi dress for when it’s freezing and you want to leave your house but still want to be cozy AND cute!
In addition, this pattern is dedicated to the incomparable Juana Navarro Arellano. Juana served in the Marine Corps for almost an entire year before being Killed in Action in Iraq on April 8, 2006. She will live forever in the memories of those lucky enough to have met her. We will never let her legacy die. 25% of the proceeds from this pattern will be donated to T.A.P.S. in her memory
