Key Design Features

Silhouette: a semi-fitted body silhouette, offering comfort while maintaining a shaped profile.

Neckline: a striking overlapping V-neckline, distinctively formed by the two front panels, creating a clean, finished appearance.

Sleeves: Short, set-in sleeves provide a classic fit and ease of movement.

Body Construction: Features a contemporary color-block design, created by vertically seaming distinct left and right front and back panels.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires accurate seaming for color-blocked panels, precise V-neckline assembly with facings, and confident handling of knit fabrics.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose knit fabrics with medium stretch to achieve the desired drape and comfort:

  • Medium stretch knit fabrics
  • Natural fiber knits (e.g., cotton jersey, rayon jersey)
  • Blended fiber knits (e.g., cotton-modal, poly-rayon blends)

Additional Supplies

  • Fusible interfacing

Cutter's Must

Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the bottom of the garment and sleeve – 1.5 cm. Attention! First of all, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
