Lyra is an endlessly versatile and stylish dress with side seam pockets and an easy fitting bodice with bust darts and a button front opening. Depending on your fabric choice this dress can be sewn with lighter weight corduroy for a cozy winter look or sewn in swishy rayon for a breezy summer look. Choose between a stand or two-piece collar and short or full length, flowy sleeves. Sew up a gathered, knee length style or a midi-length tiered skirt with the included panel. Add the optional narrow tie to cinch at the waist.
