Excalibur Tank & Dress
$12.00
Love the body you have. From day trip to date night, this body con style knit dress hugs your beautiful curves and leaves you feeling confident. Making this tank or dress from a sturdier knit helps to “hold things in” and the optional ruched hip area can accentuate your “assets” while masking a lower tummy. There are two styles included, View A has a scoop-neck front and racerback and View B has a keyhole front and scooped back neck. View B also happens to look beautiful worn backwards! With both views you can choose shirt length, regular dress length, or ruched dress length. If snug dresses aren’t your thing don’t worry because we’ve included BONUS circle skirt pieces for adding a loose and flowy circle skirt!

Accurate sizing and quick construction. The slowest part is the binding, and even that is beginner-friendly. You can do this! 🙂

I’m not the type to wear dresses. I normally feel as though my bottom is hanging out. The Excalibur is the first dress I feel truly comfortable in. I can wear this with confidence and not feel like I’m flashing the world my bum. I even asked my son to confirm 🤣

Love these super easy to follow instructions! Accurate sizing. I’ve made two so far and getting ready to cut out a third!
