The Flora V Neck Top features an oversized fit with plenty of drape, texture, and a completely adjustable v neckline (with no shaping) in both the front and the back. She’s a flowy dream with a simple construction as well that leaves plenty of room for fit customization (notes and diagrams included in pattern) - made with just 2 rectangles, a little seaming, and a thick band of hdc along the bottom. That’s it!

This top is constructed by making 2 long body panels. The body panels are then folded in half lengthwise over the shoulder and sewn together to form the body. The bottom band of hdc is then worked along the bottom front and back edges.

There is plenty of room for customization of fit in this pattern including the length, bust, depth of v-neck and width of sleeve openings. Notes are included throughout the pattern on fit customizations.

Fit is oversized, with plenty of drape and a significant drop shoulder.
- For reference, the sample I am wearing in the photo is a L/XL. My bust measures 40”
and the finished bust of the garment is 64”. A large amount of that positive ease is
contributed to the natural drop shoulder.
