Key Design Features

Neckline: Deep V-neckline created by twisting the one-piece front once at the center, finished with a narrow edge stitch.

Closure: Pull-on style with no visible fastenings, relying on the stretch of the fabric.

Sleeves: Set-in sleeves finishing at a flattering 3/4 length.

Back: Clean, simple and fitted, with a round neckline and the same cropped length as the front.

Hem: Cropped just below the bust, well above the natural waist; the raw edge is finished with a narrow edge stitch (no hem allowance).

Special Feature: the front is a single piece twisted once at the center front, creating a draped, flattering effect.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires experience with stretchy knit fabrics and specialized sewing techniques for knits.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose medium to high stretch double-sided knit fabrics that drape well:

  • Natural or blended fiber knit fabrics

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

Cutting Plan

From main fabric:

  • Back – 1 piece
  • Front – 1 piece
  • Sleeve – 2 pieces

Tip: Pattern pieces made from knit fabrics should be stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When overlocking, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance should be topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.

Sewing Instructions

  1. Stitch the right shoulder and side seam of the back and front. Finish the seams and press towards the back.
  2. Finish the neckline and bottom edge of the garment with a narrow edge stitch.
  3. Twist the front piece once and stitch the left shoulder and side seam. Finish the seams and press towards the back.
  4. Stitch the sleeve seams. Finish the seams and press.
  5. Set the sleeves into the armholes, matching notches. Finish the seams and press.
  6. Finish the lower edge of the sleeve. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
