Supplies
You will also need:
Fabric - Your fabric needs to be a stretch/knit fabric. It can be any weight; however, best results and fit will be achieved with a light or medium weight fabric such as jersey, silk satin with elastine, silk jersey with elastine, double brushed poly, rayon spandex, bamboo spandex, modal, cotton lycra, ponte, poly rayon spandex etc.
Your fabric will need to have at least 20 – 30 % stretch to get the fit as it’s designed. To check how much stretch your fabric has, take a piece of fabric, and pull along its stretch. I.e., A 2-inch piece of fabric (unstretched) should be able to be stretched to 2.4 - 2.6 inches.
The stretch recovery of the fabric is just as important as the stretch percentage. This will ensure your pjs maintain their shape and fit for as long as possible and not become baggy. To test the stretch recovery (elasticity), simply check that when you stretch your piece of fabric it returns to its original size.
A fabric with 4-way stretch(stretches in all directions) will give more drape than a fabric with 2-way stretch(only stretches in one direction).
Generally, knit/stretch fabrics are heavier than wovens. You may find you need to hem your garment slightly higher if it stretches out in length while wearing.
- Thread to match

I love the options on this pattern. It’s getting chilly here so I made up the cowl neck, top length, with long sleeve versions. It’s perfect for Autumn days and early spring! I’ll be making more in different variations for all the seasons!
Michele Axmaker Chapman –
Fun easy pattern, unique v neck/cowl. Classic look
Monica –
Very Quick Easy Make and Comfortable. I will be making more.
Shelby Chubb –
This sew went together very quickly and easily! I did find the sizing to be a bit on the larger size, so I’d recommend sizing down for a more fitted look and/or taking the time to make a muslin.
Charlene Lee –
“This is an easy sew with a beautiful result! Love the fit and the design. It was a lot easier than expected. It went together fluidly, and looks amazing !! Love ,love this pattern I made the 3/4 length cowl neck with short sleeve , but will be making more of these!!
“
Alice Meyers –
This is a very cute raglan top/dress. I made the top in the longer length as I plan to wear with leggings and boots. The V neckline was a challenge but gorgeous when it all comes together.
Fran Tilden –
This is such a quick and easy sew. A lovely comfortable dress with lots of great options.
Adelle Pears –
A quick sew that fits great. I made a matching pair of Pippa pants for a real lounge about the house outfit!! The v-neck seems like it might be tricky but the instructions take you through it and it comes out great. I’ll definitely need to try the cowl neck too!
Miia Salomäki –
This is so cute and comfortable.
Tina East –
This was a lovely pattern to make. The dress is very flattering and the pattern instructions very easy to follow. I have received many compliments about the finished garment. Really recommend this pattern.
Mandy Tustin –
Lovely T-shirt dress, the neckline was slightly complicated, but as long as you keep checking back to the instructions you will be just fine! Sizing is perfect.
Aune Wood –
I can’t wait to make a bunch more of these! Nice fit and satisfying v-neck.
Jenny Gomez –
The v neck was a challenge, but otherwise super fast and easy sew. My first time wearing it, a complete stranger raved about it wanting to know where I got it.
Rebekah Homer –
The neckline really takes the star in this pattern! I love the deep v and the soft cowl neck. I definitely think I’ll be hacking out onto other patterns as well! Sewing the v neck will be a bit of a challenge because of the deeper sharper v. But a bit of patience and perseverance and it will turn out great!
Yolanda Woodland –
I absolutely love this pattern because I love options and the fit is everything and this is a pattern that can be made and worn the same day.
Bunford Orsi –
Very fast sewing with a few neck options to change the look!
Susan Pearson –
Cute dress or top in various lengths. Can be dressed up or down, love the cowl neck option! The v-neck is always a challenge for me, but this pattern seemed a bit easier than some others I’ve tried.
Nali –
Raglan T-shirt Dress has the most interesting cowl collar which I can choose between the V-neck. It’s so easy to install and super nice. Love it!
Sandy Simpson –
This is a fabulous all season pattern. Wear the top or dress made in merino with the cowl neck, with tights and boots in the winter or the v neck in a light knit for summer. 2 different neck bands, 3 different length sleeves, a top, tunic, and 2 different length dresses and both straight and flared options. It’s like 10 patterns all in one.
Carol Remington –
I love how this dress turned out and it was so fast to sew. I have made 2 of these already! The construction was easy and the fit is great. I think the instructions could be made better. Some of the photos of construction with fabric might be better with line drawings.
Mary Acosta –
Great pattern but the V neck line will be a challenge to a beginner.
Mandy Jayne Tustin –
Good clear instructions, the v neck was a little complicated, but with the instructions being so clear it definitely helped.
Nateida Lathon –
I LOVE the pattern, this will be a staple for me.
April Moore –
The Raglan Tshirt dress is such a fun pattern! There are so many different options. I was nervous to do the V-neck of the cowl but the instructions were very clear.
Amelia Keating –
Cute pattern! The v-neck is a bit tricky, but if you go slow, it’s definitely doable. Other than that, it’s a really quick and fun sew!
TaWanna Archia –
Overall this is an easy pattern and sewed up well. I will definitely make more of these in various lengths.
Sabrina Ropp –
This pattern was wonderful to use with sweater knit for a cozy fall dress! It looks great layered under a long cardigan, or dressed up with a nice belt. In the Spring, I can make a short sleeved tunic without the cowl for a completely different look.
Sarah Miller –
This pattern is super quick and easy! I love that the cowl is smaller and not huge like many of the cowl necked tops and dresses I have seen. I have already cut four more for myself after my first one! A wardrobe staple for sure!
Carmen Mills Brent –
Wonderful and quick sew! This is an extremely comfortable shirt (length I made) that I will wear frequently to work even though it feels like lounge wear. It’s awesome, and I need to make many more of them. I love the simplicity of the pattern with only a few pieces to cut but a variety of options like straight/flared, short, 3/4, and long sleeves, and cowl/v-neck.
Sally Partridge –
A quick sew. Love how it fit especially the flared version.The v-neck is the only challenge that I m pretty sure most of beginner can conquered.
Angela Dailey –
It was a fun and mostly easy sew.
Hayati Jamil –
A quick sew. Love how it fit especially the flared version.The v-neck is the only challenge that I m pretty sure most of beginner can conquered
Carolyn Jurick Taylor –
I love this pattern! The directions were easy to follow. I made the knee length with the cowl neck. I used a heavier knit so I think that helped with it coming together so easily. I will definitely be making more!
Suzi Nasoor –
An amazing raglan with a fantastic neckline plus fit..and the multiple lengths plus fit or flare options just makes this the best ever!!!
Gwenn Lei Garrett –
This was such a fun sew. I made one flavored thigh length and one fitted thigh length. I loved being able to color block the cowl and sleeves. If you have a server, this is a great first project to try it out. The cowl neck is a great detail and I can’t wait to make a longer version. The raglan tee dress is perfect for fall and the possibilities are endless!
Georgina Hendricks –
Easy pattern to sew, I definitely need to work on my v-neck skills. If in-between sizes you may want to size down and definitely adjust for height.
Rachelle M Crosbie –
Nice easy sew, the V-neck turned out well, though hard to see how it worked in the photos due to the fabric choice being quite busy. The end result fits well and looks good; I will likely make this again.
Aimee Lim –
Super easy pattern! V-neckband was a little tricky but manageable. Versatile – create different looks with different prints! Works great with solid for colour-blocking!
Jenny Olson-Cole –
Love a raglan sleeve for easy comfort! Quick, easy sew! V-necks take extra effort, but it’s the cut I want to wear so it’s worth the time to make a good sew.
KaTina Walker –
Fairly simple sew. Sewing the v-neck was a bit of a challenge though.
Sabrina Ropp –
This is such a wonderful pattern. I’ve made the dress and the shirt, with both the cowl and the wide neckband. It is so versatile, fast and easy, and comfortable to wear.
Nateida –
Easily will become a tried and true pattern. Super easy sew and great variations for this easy raglan tshirt.
Jane Whicheloe –
Quick and easy sew.
Abby Batkin –
Great easy pattern to follow. I found this is the perfect summer night dress for me. Chuck on with a pair of jeans or wear as is.
Lisa Corriveau –
The Raglan T-shirt dress is a super easy sew with a lot of options! Having that many choices of sleeve events, hem length & a flared or straight fit, plus different collar options means I can easily make it again & again in different versions. I made a cowl neck long sleeve top in a cozy wool blend knit as a winter sweater. It’s already my favourite thing to wear on a winter day.
Sarah Liz (Malcolm) –
This is a fantastic pattern. A knit top or dress that can be smart or casual. The wide neckband and cowl options allow for a very dressy look, while the narrow neckband provides a more casual look. Colour blocking provides a totally different look to the same fabric all over. And the raglan construction is so easy to sew.
Jessica La –
This Raglan Shirt is not only fast to sew, but also the unique V-Cowl-Neck adds a variety of new ways of combining different fabrics. <3 This is one of my new favourite patterns to sew for everyday.
Deb Carpenter –
I made the top version with the drape collar – it can be worn dressed up or dressed down dependent on the fabric chosen. A great little make!
Jasmine Chandler –
This was such a quick and easy sew. I love the many options you have to create this dress.
Bonnie Hillman Riley –
Made this for a friend, based on her measurements. It was a very nice sew, pieces fit together perfectly, and the sizing was spot on. My friend was very happy with it.
Kendra Quincy Knauf –
Love the versatility of this pattern, between the length choices, the variety of necklines, and fabric options! I can’t wait to make some more tops!
Elizabeth Pace –
The raglan woman’s t-shirt dress pattern has a lot of options for neckline, sleeve length and taking it from top to dress. So it’s incredibly versatile.
It’s sized to be a bit roomy so you can layer if wearing it as a top.
I prefer it made with a knit that is not stiff so it works well with the intended fit.
Linda Berendsen –
Quick and easy sew, love the curve size range. Beautiful for curves!
Luana Furlanetto –
I made the t-shirt dress for the first time 2 years ago, and I made it in a sweater knit. Since then, it’s one of my most worn winter clothes. So I just made another one! This is an easy pattern and comes together very quickly!
