You’re going to L-O-V-E these modern-pretty
T’s, designed for lighter weight drape-y knits
like rayon, modal, bamboo, ITY, silk(y) jersey,
cotton blends, viscose, or slubby linen jersey.
Loose-fit, pull-on T’s have a slouchy-shapely
silhouette, with a ‘U’ neckline and cut-on cap
sleeves; neckline is finished with self fabric
binding. Princess & angled underbust seams
make these easy to fit and fun to trim. Choose
any mix of hem & sleeve finish...keep it simple
with classic sleeve bands and a deep hem;
splice in some insert trim and/or lace; or add
some low-key flounces for extra prettiness.
These gorgeous T’s want to be made in your
favorite solid colors and prints, but matching
or contrast lace or trims along the seamlines
& through the hembands also work brilliantly.
Try a striped version; add appliques to the
front or the shoulders. Wear your T’s loose
or semi-tucked with cropped jeans or pants.
