Description
Sister Mintaka presents the Array Top and Dress by Papercut Patterns.
This is a statement dress or top that offers many variations to suit your personal style. For the sleeves, you can choose between a big bell sleeve with elasticated hem and a wide, straight shape. Then, make your dress with the straight-cut body, or add in the extra-long wrap-around ties to cinch in at your waist. You have the same options for the top, but you can also add an elasticated hem to turn your Array into a cute jumper-like top.

![@seamslikesara has made a beautiful #nikkotop using our Bamboo Rib Knit.
The Nikko Top is a turtleneck top and dress pattern and it’s perfect for this fabric.
Using the scraps from her project, Sara also made a Darcy Bra. It looks fantastic and so comfortable!
