Marisa is a little top that is by no means classic, and yet it will be the perfect basic to have in all your favourite fabrics. Its pretty back detail, its comfortable but figure following cut, its round neckline highlighted with a slit in the middle of the front, these are all the details that give it character.
Whether you choose to sew a simple top or add buttoned embellishments, Marisa will be the quick and handy piece that will give your outfits a twist.
Suggested Fabrics: a poplin, a crepe, a twill, in viscose, cotton, silk, linen but also lace, a plumetis, or a broderie anglaise. We recommend a soft fabric to highlight the back pleat.
