I wanted to make a scallop neckline for a while, so I am happy to see it coming to life with this design.I, first, thought about a dress…but it seems to me as it went to vintage looking; nothing wrong about it, but it was not me completely. I believe that the top makes more sense to my own wardrobe. In any case I added the dress for you if you would like to try it as well 😉
This top was made in collaboration with Fort Worth Fabric Studio. They have been great supporting my blog and giving me the opportunity to make this project.
The fabric
This will be the layout of your pattern:
It will print 16 pages.Wait until all the pages are printed before taking them from the printer; it will make it easier to assemble.When finish printing, place the pages as the layout below. Then use tape to put them together. Now cut the pieces.
This will print 32 pages, but you can surely skip from number 27 to 32.

Thank you for the lovely pattern. There seems to be a step or two missing from the instructions though. I am in the process of sewing this shirt right now and a bit confused but I’ll get through. Thanks again!
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your comment. I will check on the tutorial during the week to see how it can be improved.
Happy Sewing!
Hello ! Thank you for this very pretty pattern. The neck is very charming.
But I have a question. Since this garment looks fitted, with darts and all, how do you enter into it ? Is it intended only for strechchy fabrics ? On most women, the bust is larger than the waist. I see no zipper on side or back. Thank you for your help.
Hi Noelle,
Thanks for your comment. I am sorry for the inconvenience. The pattern should definitely have a zipper on the back. If you want to do that, I suggest to add 1/4 inch seam allowance to the back bodice.
I will be checking on that pattern.
Happy Sewing!
