Buy the Whitley Top sewing pattern from Sew Over It. This classic woven top pattern includes a choice of two necklines, three sleeve lengths, and four bust sizes, making it fully customisable to your shape and style.
Choose between a round neck or a V-neck, then decide if you want short, long, or 3/4 length sleeves. The choice of cup sizes (A-B, C-D, E-F, G-H) means that if you usually need to make a small or full bust adjustment, you won't need to with Whitley! This makes it ideal for beginners and those new to fitting.
Once you’ve made the Whitley Top you’ll have a great woven block that’s perfect for some pattern hacking. Shorten the bodice for a cute crop top, or lengthen it to make a floaty shift dress for the warmer months!
