Material
Primary Fabric Use light- to medium-weight woven fabrics such as rayon/viscose challis, rayon/viscose twill, chambray, linen, lightweight flannel, and broadcloth. Keep in mind that more structured fabrics will create a boxier silhouette, while fluid fabrics will drape and contour over the curves of the body. Note that the wrong side of the fabric will be visible in the 3/4 Sleeve with Buttoned Tab option, so choose your fabric accordingly.
Interfacing Use lightweight fusible woven or weft insertion interfacing.
Other Materials
- For the In-seam Pocket option (an option for the dress only)
- 3/4 yard (70 cm) of 1/2” (1.25 cm) wide straight fusible stay tape (or cut your own from lightweight woven fusible interfacing on the straight grain)
- For the 3/4 Sleeve with Buttoned Tab option:
- Two (2) 1/2” (12 mm) buttons
Fabric Requirements
Most natural fibers shrink in the wash; be sure to have enough fabric. The requirements below assume that the fabric is already pre-shrunk.

How to choose your size
- Determine your cup size—subtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 1″ (2.5 cm), use A cup; 2″ (5 cm), use B cup; 3″ (7.5 cm), use C cup; 4″ (10 cm), use D cup; 5″ (12.5 cm), use DD cup.
- After determining the cup size, compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Using the corresponding row for your cup, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
- If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.

I loved this pattern the minute I saw it. It took a couple of muslins to figure out the sizing but once I did it was a very quick to make. The pattern is very well drafted. The instructions are straight forward and easy to follow.
delsken –
Loved this style the minute I saw it. Once sizing is figured out, the top comes together quickly. The instructions are very good. Overall, the pattern is well drafted and results in a beautiful top/dress.
Miriam –
Love the style, it’s just like it’s pictured. Though I made mine one size too small (entirely my fault for not checking my measurements after I had gained some weight) I loved how the top came together. You have the absolute best instructions and techniques of any pattern company I have used. I am going to make it again in my correct size next time and there will be a next time!!
HELEN –
As usual, a beautifully drafted pattern. I made the top version in a gorgeous viscose/ linen blend and used the long sleeves from the Mauritius Top as I wanted to make it a little bit dressier. I think this will be a very useful pattern to have in my collection with the potential for many fun iterations!
catrin –
I was looking for a well-fitting woven top as a base for future hacking (sleeves and neck line). I did a muslin for a dress and it is more than wearable. I love the seam down the back since it provides me with the opportunity to adjust the width to my swayback. Recommendation!
Debra –
One of my new favorites.
Phyllis –
Perfect fit on first try by using my measurements, and grading between sizes for different parts of my body. The only change was that I needed to lower the dart. The directions are very clear. A very easy sew and it looks great!
Denise –
I love that this pattern is not difficult to make, but the variety in fabric colors and designs can make it unique.
Crystal –
It’s a wonderful and quick to make pattern. Perfect
Tricia –
Easy sew but with some nice added details.
Caroline –
I am just finishing up my first one. The instructions are crystal clear and very complete. And the fit is spot on, exactly how I imagined it.
