Spoxxy Top & Dress
$10.00
The Spoxxy Top can take you from “out after work” to “workout”. The top version is designed to fit closely against your chest, then slowly flaring out to fit loosely in the tummy and drawn it at the hips with a waistband. The dress version has the same fit as the top from the bust and above but flares out to a beautiful A-line skirt below and has an optional elasticized waist.

I’ve never been one for racerback shirts, but I LOVE this pattern! Tank tops are a daily thing in my wardrobe, and this pattern allows me to make some really fun tops very quickly!

LOVE THIS! This pattern is so amazing. I am so excited to sew as many of these as I can. They go with everything. You can make them as casual or as dressy as you would like. The Spoxxy pairs perfectly with the Brazi!

I love the nursing option for this pattern. The first spoxxy I made was a nursing spoxxy. It’s perfect for nursing in public. It allows for discreet nursing without the hot bulky cover. This shirt is also fast to sew, comfortable and flattering too.

I love this pattern cause it’s so quick & easy, and it’s an awesome workout top or cute summer tank… It’s fun having ppl at the gym ask where you got your top, and being able to respond that you made it! 🙂

I always get compliments when I wear my Spoxxy. It is comfortable and love that you can toss on a sweater on those chilly days or wear it as is in the summer. The pattern is well written and a great sew.

My first shirt pattern and I love it the nursing version is great. It is my go to summer shirt.
Cynthia –
Workout tops are expensive! Making my own saves so much money! I love doing yoga and pilates in my spoxxy because it won’t open up when I bend down. And I can leave the band off the bottom for a great running top!

The Spoxxy is my favorite top pattern! I have made a handful and plan to make many more.

I love the spoxxy as a workout top. The waistband is wonderful because it keeps my shirt from going over my head during yoga!

A great exercise top – I’ve made them for myself and 2 friends, we are all different shapes yet they flatter us all, and both friends have asked for more

Great workout tanks. Love the gathering at the back and options to keep itit loose or fitted. Staple in my summer wardrobe.

I love the style of this top for working out or just lounging. I like to make this with matching scrundies to give as gifts for friends. I can make both in one night, so even works for last minute gifts.

I love that I was able to rock my spoxxy tops thru my whole pregnancy without any modifications and I can still wear them now with baby 4 months old. Easy to follow directions and easy construction.
Leighann –
I love the Spoxxy! It’s a pattern that can be used for anything. I’ve made shirts to wear to work, date night, lounging, and of course to workout. Perfect fit! The neckline hits perfectly, not too low or high. The fit around the bust and waist are perfect. I love that I can feel comfortable and sexy at the same time. The waist band is nice for keeping your shirt from falling open in yoga and pilates. The waistband is a must if using it for working out. All around, this has to be my favorite afternoon to sew and wear. Such a quick and easy sew!
