The Equinox Tee is a reinvention of a classic 60’s tee. Pair with your fave jeans whilst channelling today’s Jane Birkin. The neckline is widened to a subtle boat neck leading into a dropped shoulder with bold, round sleeve caps. Skimming over the bust and dropping straight to high hip with no waist shaping. A slightly cropped body length with subtle curved hem line finishing just below the high hip.
The two sleeve options include the classic cap with a generous hem width, or a very cute bell flare, landing at bracelet length. Giving an easy to wear basic a unique edge. This will be high rotation, wardrobe favourite.
This is a multi-size paper pattern in an envelope, including sizes 6 - 18.
Suggested Fabrics:
The Equinox tee suits basic cotton knits, interlock, "rugby knit", merino knit, fleece and french terry are all suitable. Keep Lycra / Elastane to a minimum 5% or less. Too much stretch makes for a stiff neck band.
