Square Neck Tie-Side Faux Wrap Top

When To Wear

In summer with shorts, jeans or a skirt.
Under an open shirt or cardigan in spring.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Close-fitting with shaped side seams.

Neckline: Square neckline front and back; the upper edges are overlocked, turned to the wrong side and topstitched.

Sleeves: Sleeveless. Front and back armhole bands, each cut from two layers, are joined at the shoulder and continue up as wide straps.

Front: A plain front with an overlay on top. The overlay is gathered along the right armhole edge, caught into the armhole and the right side seam, and crosses the front diagonally. One tie is caught under the topstitched upper edge of the overlay, the other is set into the left side seam; they tie at the left side.

Back: One piece with a straight hem.

Finishing: The overlay's open edges are turned and topstitched; the overlay side seam ends 1.5 cm above the hem edge to leave room for the hem. Hem turned up and topstitched with a twin needle.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Double-layer armhole bands, a gathered overlay set into the armhole and side seam, ties inserted into seams.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with medium to high stretch, from natural or blended fibres. Seams are sewn with a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch.
