Looking for a joyful dressmaking project with a touch of 70s romance? Our Gingham Vali Boho Smock Top Complete Dressmaking Kit brings together everything you need to sew this beautifully detailed blouse by Pattern Fantastique.

Relaxed, romantic and just a little bit glam, the Vali is a classic smock with a gathered high neckline framed by soft sleeve and yoke gathers. Volumes of fabric, fine ties and neatly topstitched facings transform this into far more than a simple top - it’s a piece full of texture and thoughtful detail.

This kit focuses on the top version only, making it a wonderfully wearable addition to your wardrobe. Pair it with jeans for everyday ease or style it with wide-leg trousers for a more statement look. You can choose between the standard neckline or the drop neckline option, perfect if you prefer a slightly deeper shape or would like easier breastfeeding access.

We’ve chosen 100% cotton double gauze from Atelier Brunette in Chestnut and Night (a rich dark navy), and it really is divine. This reversible gingham features smaller checks on one side and larger squares on the other, giving you the chance to play with scale. We love the idea of contrasting yokes and sleeves in alternating check sizes for a subtle, considered finish. Soft, breathable and beautifully drapey, this cloth feels wonderful against the skin and is ideal for relaxed Spring and Summer dressing.

As with all our Clothkits dressmaking kits, everything is carefully curated so you can simply cut, sew and enjoy the process.
