Elevated Casual Wear: Easily dressed down for a stylish yet comfortable everyday look.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: a sleek, fitted long-sleeve top designed to flatter the figure.

Neckline: Features a high neckline with a continuous, integrated drape.

Draping: An elegant asymmetric drape extends from the right shoulder across the front bodice, creating visual interest and softness.

Sleeves: Classic long, set-in sleeves provide full arm coverage.

Hem: a distinctive asymmetric hemline, artfully dipping lower on the left side, adds a modern edge.

Level Of Difficulty

Fabric Recommendations

Select soft knit fabrics with a medium stretch to best achieve the intended drape and fit:

Medium-stretch knitwear made from blended fibers (e.g., viscose blend jersey, modal blend jersey)

Additional Supplies

Fusible knit interfacing

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams - 1.0 cm; hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve - 1.5 cm. Allowance along the outer edge of the flying front - 1.5 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Flying front – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Sewing Instructions

Interface the pieces with fusible interfacing.
Serge the outer and lower edges of the flying front, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Along the left shoulder edge of the flying front, stitch with a loosened upper thread and gather. Place the flying front right side down onto the wrong side of the front and stitch the upper edge of the integrated stand-up collar. Clip allowances, turn the flying front to the right side of the front and secure along the open edges. Then treat as one piece.
Fold the back neckline facing with the back right sides together and stitch the upper edge of the integrated stand-up collar, starting and ending the stitch exactly at the shoulder seam line.
Stitch the shoulder edges, inserting the front between the facing and back pieces. Turn the piece to the right side, straighten, press.
Stitch the side edges, press allowances towards the back and serge.
Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and serge. Set in sleeves into armholes, matching notches, press allowances and serge.
Serge the hem allowance of the garment bottom and sleeve bottom, fold to the wrong side and topstitch.
