Papercut Patterns - Kobe Dress/Top

Please note: In response to recent discussions regarding cultural appropriation, Papercut Patterns announced on March 19, 2021, that they are in the process of renaming patterns originally named after Japanese cities. You can read their statement here. Sewing Gem supports this positive step. We will be selling through our remaining stock of these patterns under their current names, and will restock with the newly named patterns once they are announced.

Please note: Papercut Patterns has recently updated the product packaging. You may receive your pattern in the former style of packaging, but rest assured that the patterns and instructions are the same.

Papercut Patterns - Kobe Dress/Top

This stunning pleat-back dress/top is named after Kobe City and the mountains that frame the harbour. The back detail features two long pleats overlapping a key-hole neckline with side seam slits and a clean, scoop neck front. Comes in two variations: a mid-calf length dress or a top with cropped front and a dipped back hem.

Intermediate skill level.
