When I was given the opportunity to create a line of patterns for McCall Patterns, I knew I wanted to create something that was quintessentially me. Keeping in mind, my style isn’t for everyone I also wanted patterns that can easily be altered to accommodate your own personal esthetic. When I decided on this strapless tunic, I thought about the beauty of a woman’s shoulders and the idea of minimal layering. This top makes you feel completely covered and sexy at the same time.
A top like this requires fabric with a lot of movement. I used a polyester crepe from moodfabrics.com that’s unfortunately sold out but here is a collection of polyester crepe at moodfabrics.com that would work just as nicely.
Not familiar with polyester crepe? It’s a thinner fabric that generally provides a great drape, doesn’t pill, shrink or fade and keeps it’s new look. It’s easy to cut, sew and iron all at an economical price.
The pants were previously made here
Love your patterns! Great look. I’m short so maybe I could wear as a dress without the full slits.
This is great, anyway you can make a pattern with short sleeves for those of us who like a little more coverage? I will be watching!
Absolutely love it!!!! I’m about to place my order now for some fabric to make this fabulous top!!!! I made the slacks to this pattern , and the fit is dead on, perfect, no adjustments needed, and a quick sew. I will send you pictures Nikki this week of the slacks I made. Love your patterns! Can’t wait for your next collection!
