Pattern Description: 

This Flattering Asian inspired cross-over top has ties that extend from either side of the lapel ends and tie to ties from the side (at the ribs).  This way of fitting makes it easier to get a rather fitted garment without using darts or gathers.  The pattern is made of nine panels, the front two curt for a cross-over neckline.  The dolman sleeves are optional - without them it makes a very unique vest.  Fabric suggestions range from soft floaty silks to ethnic ikats.

Pattern includes new seam techniques with creative connections as seen in Threads magazine issue #98.

The simple style drapes beautifully on all body silhouettes.  Create elegant one-of-a-kind garments using hand-dyed silks, rayons or other unique fabrics using the Modular Design pieces.
