Everyday Elegance Top
$9.00
This beginner/intermediate pattern has all the style you need in a loose, flowy, comfortable shirt! It is drafted for woven/non-stretch fabrics with a soft drape like rayon challis, crepe, chiffon, georgette, etc.
Sleeve options include short sleeves, 3/4 with button tab, and long bishop sleeve with a thicker elastic at wrist. The longer curved hem of the top length is perfect to pair with leggings, skinny jeans, or your favorite work slacks. The dress length is such an easy and cool wear for a BBQ or casual wedding! Wear it loose, or belt it (belt included in tutorial) for a more fitted look. The v neck is a continous bound binding for ease and neckline has binding options (neckline only and extended with ties) and collar. The tutorial has both quick and easy methods as well as cleaner finishes that hide seams.

Awesome pattern – no trim pages. Works well with knits or woven. Great for office or date night or momiform!

This is one of the best patterns that I have ever found. It truly fits all body types. I have made 7 of these now in all sorts of different fabrics. I haven’t tried a fabric that I didn’t liked the way it looked. Thank you for designing such a fantastic pattern.

I have made this top in both woven and knit (sized down) and it is fabulous. It is true to size with easy to follow instructions. I was very worried about sewing this as it was my first woman’s item I ever made. It turned out exactly as deacribed; elegant.

A friend bought this pattern for me to make for her. It was easy and simple to make. Right now I’m not the best sewist but if I can do it anyone can.

What a great pattern. I have made several Everyday Elegance tops in different types of fabrics and they all turn out great. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and result in a professional looking garment even for a beginning garment sewer like myself.
