Tech. Description

Asymmetric Buttoned Neckline Top

When To Wear

Autumn and winter, with trousers, jeans or a skirt.
Under a jacket or coat, where the high collar covers the neck.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted, shaped by princess seams on the front; straight back.

Length: Hip length; hem turned up 2 cm and topstitched.

Collar: High stand collar cut double and interfaced on one layer. The right end is stitched and turned to a mark, laid over the left at the centre front marks and fixed with three buttons sewn through both layers.

Sleeves: Long set-in sleeves, hem turned up 2 cm and topstitched.

Front: Shoulder yokes joined to the side fronts by a curved seam; princess seams running from the yoke seam to the hem; centre front seam pressed to the left.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with no seams.

Finishing: Seams sewn with a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch or on an overlocker; hems topstitched with a twin needle or coverstitch to keep the stretch.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Straight and curved seams in a stable knit; the only detail needing care is the overlapping collar, which is turned to a mark before it is set into the neckline.

Fabric Recommendations

Low-stretch knit fabric of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible knit interfacing (collar)
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.
