Mod Note: Includes instructions, A0/Copyhsop and A4/US Letter layered pattern printables.
The Torrens Box Top, is an easy-to-wear everyday staple with clean, architectural lines. It is designed to be very loose fitting with a boxy silhouette and hits at the hip. It features a neck facing, a unique sleeve band application technique, or a generously proportioned long sleeve. Choose the regular long sleeve for a thinner fabric or the wide long sleeve for a layering piece.
This garment is designed to have at least 12 inches of design ease. The finished garment measurements may seem large, but the boxy silhouette of the top is achieved using this ease.
We recommend selecting your size based on your bust and hip measurement.
Alterations in length can be easily made by shortening or lengthening at the hem.
Fit will be compromised by intentionally sizing down.
Fabric Suggestions:This pattern is designed for use with a variety of woven fabrics.
To achieve a draped silhouette, we suggest lightweight flowy fabrics such as challis, lawn, lightweight linen, rayon, crepe, or silk.
If you prefer to accentuate the Torrens’ boxiness, use a medium weight fabric such as a medium weight linen, double gauze, or handwoven cotton such as an ikat.
As with most garment sewing, we do not recommend the use of quilting cottons.
For a statement piece, try making this top up in a soft wool coating fabric with draping properties such as a soft melton!
