Tech. Description

Off-Shoulder Long Sleeve Tie Cuff Top

Introducing a chic women's knit top pattern featuring a graceful asymmetrical wide neckline, long sleeves with charming tie-gathered hems, and an elegantly draped asymmetrical hemline.

When To Wear

This versatile top transitions effortlessly from sophisticated daytime wear to elegant evening occasions, making it ideal for:

  • Elegant Casual Gatherings: The unique design and comfortable fit are perfect for social events and sophisticated meetups.
  • Dinner & Evening Outings: Paired with tailored trousers or a skirt, it creates a refined and stylish ensemble for nights out.
  • Stylish Daytime Wear: a comfortable yet fashionable choice that adds a touch of sophistication to your daily wardrobe.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: a softly fitted, draped silhouette with an artfully asymmetrical hem that offers dynamic movement.

Neckline: An elegant asymmetrical wide neckline that slopes down towards one shoulder, finished with a turned and topstitched edge.

Sleeves: Long, set-in sleeves with ties at the hem: the right sleeve has a centre seam and the left sleeve an inside casing, and the ties gather the lower sleeve for an adjustable ruched effect.

Hem: a distinctive asymmetrical hemline, which drapes lower on one side to create a flowing, modern profile.

Back: a clean and smooth back design with a gently curved neckline, complementing the front's unique features.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires experience with knit fabrics, handling asymmetrical patterns, and applying specific seam finishes for elasticity.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose light to medium-weight knit fabrics with good drape to achieve the intended flowing silhouette:

  • Jersey knit
  • Viscose knit
  • Lightweight knit blends with spandex or elastane for stretch

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

Cutter's Must

  • From main fabric:
  • Back – 1 piece
  • Front – 1 piece
  • Upper Right Sleeve – 1 piece
  • Lower Right Sleeve – 1 piece
  • Left Sleeve – 1 piece
  • Left Sleeve Casing – 1 piece
  • Ties – 2 pieces (cut by measurement; no pattern piece)

Sewing Instructions

Tip: To keep the fabric stretchy in the areas of finished seams, stitch the cut pieces with a narrow zigzag or special stretch stitch. To keep the bottom edge stretchy, the hem should be overlocked and then stitched using a twin needle. The same applies to finishing other edges of the garment that should not lose elasticity. These recommendations do not apply to industrial production.

  1. Overlock the centre edges of the Upper Right Sleeve and Lower Right Sleeve. Stitch the centre seam of the right sleeve, leaving an opening in the seam between the notches. Press the seam open. Topstitch the seam allowances 0.7 cm from the seam, stopping 2 cm above the hem allowance and leaving a gap in the stitching near the lower notch for threading the tie.
  2. Place the Left Sleeve Casing on the wrong side of the Left Sleeve according to the markings, turning under the lower end of the strip. Baste and topstitch the casing along the markings.
  3. Cut strips for the ties. Fold each strip lengthwise and stitch 0.5 cm from the fold. Turn the ties right side out and press. Tuck the ends in and stitch them closed.
  4. Stitch and overlock the shoulder and side seams of the top. Press the side and shoulder seams towards the back.
  5. Stitch and overlock the underarm seams of the sleeves. Press the seams towards the back of the sleeve.
  6. Set the sleeves into the armholes, matching the notches.
  7. Overlock the neckline edge of the front and back, the sleeve hems and the hem of the top. Turn under the overlocked edges and topstitch. Thread the ties through the casings. Draw up the fabric on the ties, distribute the gathers evenly and tie the ends.
