Key details
- Dolman sleeve cut in one with the body — no armhole seam
- Front and back are the same piece, so the top is symmetrical
- Four seams in the whole garment: the shoulder and upper sleeve on each side, and the underarm seam that runs from cuff to hem on each side
- Wide boat neckline, turned 1.6 cm
- Cuffs and hem turned 1.6 cm, the same as the neck
- The sleeve reaches 17.5 cm past the body at every size
Pattern pieces
- Front-back (cut 2) — one piece serves as both halves. Two pieces of fabric.
