I am so excited to introduce my newest women’s pattern, the Roscoe Blouse and Dress! This pattern came from the fact that I am currently obsessed with all things boho and 70’s inspired. With it’s billowy sleeves, gathered neckline, and large ruffled hems, this pattern is filling that void in my fall wardrobe.
View A
View A is the blouse version of this pattern. Like the other two views, it has raglan sleeves and a gathered neckline. There is a slit at the neck’s center front, creating a flattering v shape along with neckties that you can either leave open or tie into a bow. The sleeves hit a couple of inches above the wrist and the hem of the blouse is finished off in a simple narrow hem.
I love the loose, comfortable ease of this top. I am currently pairing it with skinny jeans and boots, although I am on the hunt for the perfect pair of flare jeans to wear with it for a truly 70s inspired outfit.
View B
I think that View B is the most versatile of the three options. The length allows it to be worn as either a mini dress or a tunic depending on your preference. The top portion of the dress is identical to the blouse, but the bottom of the dress has an added ruffle.
I can see this paired with thick tights and boots for a fall / winter ensemble or made up in a gauzy lace for the warmer months. Either way I love wearing this dress. It is so easy to throw on for days when I want to feel feminine and put together, but with all the ease and comfort I could want.
View C
View C is the most dramatic of the views with it’s mid-calf hem and wide ruffle. I prefer to wear it with a belt, but I think it would be beautiful and quite the statement piece without it.
The pattern calls for lightweight woven fabrics with movement. This could include anything from silk crepe de chine and rayon challis, to cotton gauze and voile. Stiffer fabrics will create more structure while the ones with more drape will hug your curves.
View A was sewn up in a rose colored silk crepe de chine from Chic fabrics, View B was also made in a silk crepe de chine, this time from ebay, and View C is sewn with rayon challis from Imagine Gnats.
The difficulty of the pattern is marked as advanced beginner. Techniques that you will use during construction include gathering, bias binding, and sewing a front facing. There will be a sewalong for the Roscoe Blouse / Dress the week of October 19th for anyone who wants more detailed help. More info. on the schedule for that coming tomorrow.

You consistently create the most wearable, flattering designs. This one looks like another hit!
thanks so much bethany! so glad you like it.
These are so gorgeous! As always, your styling and fabric choices are wonderful.
thanks sonja. so glad we are friends!
Congratulations Kelli! I love this pattern so SO much, as I’m also feeling the 70’s boho vibe this season! Your versions are so gorgeous – as always you have impeccable taste in fabrics!
thank you! you have the best style of almost anyone I know so that comes as a huge compliment.
Beautiful! I’m totally loving this look these days.
Me too! Im obsessed with all things boho.
Congrats on another great pattern, Kelli!
thanks so much Meg. You are the best.
You look absolutely beautifull in all three views! Not so much my style this one, but love the fact that you continue to bring wearable, on trend designs!
Thank you Jessica. Love your honestly too!
Congratulations on another great pattern, Kelli! I absolutely love the fabric you used on View B. It is so gorgeous! You look beautiful in all of the photos!
Thanks so much Teri. That fabric was such a great find.
This is exactly what I have been looking for! I have a favorite tunic that is similar and I sooo want more of them. Thank you!!!
Oh great! Can’t wait to see it.
Is it different from Pauline Alice eliana dress?
And also, any tips on how to style this for those who are not flat chested so I won’t look pregnant?
I haven’t ever seen the eliana in person so im not exactly sure how similar the fits are, but it appears to me that among other style differences, the cut of the roscoe is much more relaxed / more ease while the eliana is a bit more of a close fit. As far as cup size and being flattering, I think that a lot of that has to do with the fabric you choose. A more flowy fabric such as a rayon challis is going to be much more flattering and feminine that a more structured fabric like a voile. hope that helps!
This is so beautiful Kelli!! I love view B and the fabric you chose for it is fantastic!
thanks so much heather. I am partial to view b as well.
This dress is virtually identical to the Pauline Alice eliana dress.
There are some similarities, but I think they are quite different in mood, style, and fit.
Where’s the line drawing?
You can see it on the shop page in one of the alternate images below the main image.
This is great! Can’t wait to try it out in a rayon print or something..
thanks so much dixie. rayon works really great with this pattern. the more flowy the better.
You look smashing in all the versions and congratulations on releasing another pattern! Can I please steal your shoes?! 😀
for real, kelli has the best shoes.
as always, you look gorgeous! that blue print version is giving me hearts for eyes.
you guys are the nicest. cant remember where i got those shoes – maybe zappos? but they were a good find.
Love this pattern! I just bought a few flowy blouse fabrics and was looking for a new long-sleeved blouse pattern to match… this is perfection! Question, what cup size are your patterns drafted for? Will you covering how to do an SBA in the sewalong? Thanks!
i draft for a c cup, although my testers that have smaller cups didn’t seem to have an issue. its such a forgiving shape and no darts. i think you may just need to take a bit of length off the front at the end.
Awesome, thank you!
I’m loving this! I have so much stashed rayon challis that will be perfect for this pattern. I’m working on some skinny jeans right and I think the top or tunic length will be perfect to wear with them.
totally! skinnies and a flowy top are my go to in fall.
This is just the pattern I want. I love flowy tunics, and I just might get out of my box and make the dress. I can’t wait to join the sewalong. As always, you have great effortless style.
Yay! Can’t wait for the sewalong to start. It really an easy dress and a fast make.
Loving it! Well done girl!
thanks so much Helen
