Asymmetric Buttoned Neckline Top

A stylish women's top pattern featuring a unique asymmetric buttoned neckline and elegant front seaming for a refined silhouette.

When To Wear

This versatile top is perfect for a range of occasions, offering both comfort and sophistication:

Casual & Everyday Comfort: Ideal for relaxed daily wear, providing an elevated yet comfortable look.
Smart-Casual Gatherings: Easily dressed up or down for informal social events, luncheons, or weekend outings.
Transitional Seasons: The long sleeves and cozy neckline make it an excellent choice for cooler spring, autumn, or mild winter days.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: a comfortable, relaxed fit that gently skims the body, offering ease of movement without being oversized.

Neckline: a distinctive high, asymmetric mock neck collar, designed to wrap and secure with buttons, creating a contemporary and stylish focal point.

Closure: Three buttons are strategically placed on the upper right side of the collar, functioning as both a secure closure and an eye-catching design detail for the asymmetric overlap.

Front Construction: Features sophisticated front seaming, including a shaped yoke that integrates into vertical relief seams, creating subtle body shaping and visual interest.

Sleeves: Full-length, set-in sleeves provide comfortable coverage and a classic fit.

Back: a clean, unadorned back design with a simple mock neck collar stand, maintaining a sleek profile.

Hem: a straight hem, designed to fall gracefully at hip length, offering versatile styling options.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. This pattern requires careful attention to detail for the precise construction of the shaped collar, the multiple front seams, and accurate button placement.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose knit fabrics with low stretch to best maintain the garment's shape and provide comfortable drape:

Knit fabrics made from natural or blended fibers

Additional Supplies

Knit fusible interfacing
3 buttons

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. Seam allowances: hem allowance for the garment and sleeves – 2 cm, other allowances - 1.0 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!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Center front – 2 pieces
- Side front – 2 pieces
- Front yoke – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Collar – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. 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.
