Orla Shift Top

Orla Shift Top

PDF Sewing Pattern
Regular price£11.50

Tax included.
Pattern Format

Orla is a semi-fitted shift top with delicate details offset by a modern exposed zip. Classic at first glance, a closer peek reveals a wealth of interesting design details to develop your sewing repertoire.

The bodice is shaped by curved French darts at the front, with contour and shoulder darts at the back for a great fit. The booty-shielding dipped hem is finished with a facing.

Choose from full length or cropped sleeves with a subtle pleat at the shoulder. Keep it understated with the plain neckline version, or add the adorable snowdrop collar.

Orla looks great over skinny jeans or leggings for every day, or with slim-fit trousers or tucked into a skirt for the office. The collar version makes a lovely layering top to wear under knitwear.

The Orla shift top is a PDF pattern only.  This pattern is not available as a printed pattern.

Orla

This is a really lovely pattern. The shape and length are flattering. Instructions are clear and although the dart is a bit alarming to look at once it's sewn up it's fab.

Thank you so much Jean for taking the time to leave us a message. So pleased you've enjoyed making Orla. Team Buttons x
