Twirl through life in this striking knit top. Slight gathering at the side seams provide shaping for the bust. Godets at the hem bring drape and drama.
Create View A - a sleeveless layering piece with a classic banded neckline. Ideal for layering or hot-weather dressing. Or make a statement with View B - an elegant cowl and long sleeves to keep you cozy in fall and winter.
The Gorgeous Godet Top works best with lightweight knits with four-way stretch. Jersey, ITY and other light stretch knits are ideal. Wider fabric is recommended, as this top has some large pieces.
“With nap” layouts are provided for directional prints or luxe fabrics, such as stretch velvet.
This pattern is not suitable for striped fabrics for the bodice - but try a contrasting godet in horizontal or vertical stripes to add dimension. Contrasting godets take about a yard of fabric.
This pattern comes with a free step-by-step video tutorial on the Style Falcon YouTube channel. All measurements and instructions are provided in Imperial and metric units.
