Sleeves: Integrated three-quarter length sleeves, gently gathered at the cuffs to create soft volume.

Back: Features a clean back design with a central seam for subtle shaping.

Hem: a straight bottom hem, suitable for wearing tucked or untucked.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires experience with knit fabrics, gathering techniques, and binding necklines and sleeve edges.

Fabric Recommendations

For optimal drape and comfort, choose knit fabrics with a soft hand and slight stretch:

Knit fabrics with medium or low stretch, made from natural or blended fibers.

Additional Supplies

Bias binding, 4 cm wide

Cutter's Must

From main fabric:
1. Back – 2 pieces
2. Front – 1 piece with fold

Tip: When sewing knit fabrics, use a special elastic stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. Alternatively, you can sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
