Description
Description
Elegant, effortless and quietly glamorous… the Lioness Top is one of those pieces that feels instantly special while remaining wonderfully easy to wear. Cut on the bias, it drapes beautifully across the body, creating a fluid silhouette that skims rather than clings. The softly cascading cowl neckline adds a touch of understated sophistication, while the clean lines and simple shape give it a timeless appeal with a subtle nod to 1990s style.
Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and versatility, the wide shoulder straps comfortably conceal bra straps, making the Lioness as practical as it is flattering. Whether sewn in a plain fabric to showcase the elegant drape or in a striking print for added impact, it pairs effortlessly with everything from tailored trousers and skirts to relaxed denim.
Sizing: UK 6–24 (FR 34–52). Drafted for a height of 165cm (5'5"). Please refer to the finished garment measurements in the product images to help you choose your size.
Fabric Requirements (140cm wide):
34-40: 90cm
42-46: 110cm
48-52: 130cm
You will also need:
20cm fusible interfacing (G785 or similar)
Suggested Fabrics: Lightweight, fluid fabrics between 70–200gsm such as poplin, crepe, voile, twill, satin or fine jacquard. Suitable fibres include cotton, viscose, linen, Tencel™ and silk. Fabrics with beautiful drape will best highlight the cowl neckline and bias-cut construction.
Ability: Intermediate. Techniques include working with bias-cut fabric, sewing precise corners and applying bias binding to the armholes.
