This fashionable top can be made with or without the choker neck band. The swing silhouette makes this top stylish but easy to wear. The neck band is a current fashion trend but if you prefer a "V" neck top just leave out the neck band. Long or short sleeves? It’s your choice on this style.
Fabric Suggestion:
Knit jersey or baby wool.

I was very happy with this pattern. I made a size 16 out of a printed Lycra without the choker neckline. I was very happy with the fit and although worried about the “V’ neckline it came out perfect.

I must have made well over 10 of these tops now and just made another two today! – I shorten the sleeves for summer, long for winter and leave off the neck tie and do a different band instead. The swing shape is great for hiding my big tummy and the whole thing is very flattering on me

Love this pattern, quick and easy. I left the upper band off as I am older and don’t want to draw attention to my neck. I also increased the seam allowance to 3/9 because my sewing machine doesn’t play nicely with 1/4 in seams.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
