Pattern: McCall's Misses' Tops M6164
Fabric: knit
Cost: $5
This shirt is made with bargain bin fabric, barely enough, and not even a full cowl, but it's my new favorite work shirt.
This top is inspired by my very chic coworker, who always wears sleek tops and looks so sophisticated. To make it, I cut out my stand-by McCall's M6164, doubling up on the front and back because the fabric was very sheer. I didn't have quite enough for a full cowl a-la-Renfrew, but for now the drapey turtleneck suits me just fine.
While I've been working a lot of office blouses, I've also come to the realization that knit tops are waay more comfy and can also be made office-appropriate. I think I'll be making more in the future!
Looks great. Knit is so forgiving, especially with fit.
ReplyDeleteCute! I love the idea of making dressy knit tops. I should make more of those, because, like you say, they are so comfy.
ReplyDeleteI like that there wasn't enough fabric for the full neck cowl, as this wavy neckline is really cute!!
ReplyDeletethis is great, love the neck detail!
