Tech. Description

Dolman Sleeve Top with Lace Panels

A women's hip-length top for knit fabric, with wide dolman sleeves cut from knit lace, a solid knit front and back cut on the fold, a double-layer neckline finish, and folded cuffs and hip band.

When To Wear

In spring and autumn, with jeans, trousers or a straight skirt.
For evenings out: the lace sleeves contrast with the plain body.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Loose through the sleeves and upper body, drawn in at the hip by the band.

Length: Hip length, finished with a folded band.

Neckline: Round neckline finished with an upper and a lower facing, each joined at the shoulders. The upper facing is interfaced and stitched to the neckline; the lower facing is folded under and topstitched into the attachment seam.

Sleeves: Dolman sleeves in knit lace, joined to the front and back with long curved seams that run down to the band. Sleeve and side seams are stitched in one.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with no centre back seam.

Waist: Hip band cut on the fold, sewn into a ring, folded lengthwise and stretched slightly when attached.

Finishing: Cuffs sewn into rings, folded in half and stretched slightly onto the sleeve edges; all seams overlocked.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Two different knits (plain knit and knit lace) in one garment, a double neckline facing, and evenly stretched cuffs and band.

Fabric Recommendations

Low-stretch knit of natural or blended fibres for the body, cuffs and band; knit lace for the sleeves.

Additional Supplies

Fusible knit interfacing (one front and one back neck facing)

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 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!
