Many years ago Pier 1 Imports the international home goods store sold clothes, not sure if many (anyone lol) remembers that, but I can recall my mother coming in the house with a bag filled with strange looking clothes. As I tore through the bag dreading the day my young self had to wear these embroidered and embellished getups, I came across a savior in the form of an off the shoulder cropped top. This was my introductory into off the shoulder, and I’ve been sold ever since.When deciding to make an off the shoulder top, I wanted a very crisp fabric which will make for a timeless piece. I decided on a solid white cotton from Moodfabrics.com item #301847. Unfortunately it sold out, but here are great shirting alternatives.
The skirt was made using this beautiful lightweight cotton jacquard fabric which is simply sublime. It’s crisp, bright white and perfect.
The pattern used for this top was one I self drafted and will be available for free download on my blog on Friday.
The skirt was made using Butterick B5285 with the following pattern alterations:
Added 10″ to the length
Used pleats instead of box pleats
Reduced the width of the waist band by 1/2″
