Description
Description
The Cuff Top is a straight-fitting design with a relaxed silhouette and cap sleeves finished with wide elastic cuffs. It’s a joy to sew, simple, stylish and endlessly wearable, which is why it’s become one of our most popular patterns.
Shown here in a soft, chambray-style blue, it pairs beautifully with The Assembly Line Almost Long Trousers or the Three Pleat Skirt for a polished, everyday look.
The pattern is cleverly tailored across two size ranges: the smaller sizes feature a boat neckline and clean lines, while the larger sizes are shaped with a bust dart, a gently curved underarm, and a keyhole opening with a button at the back for ease and elegance.

Light to medium lightweight fabrics such as cotton, silk, lawn, linen, crepe de chine, or wool crepe.
