Drop Top Sewing Pattern, Puff & Pencil

Looking for a top that feels a little bit special but still easy to wear? The Drop Top is a beautifully balanced design, with a gently fitted waist and soft ruching at the side seams to create a flattering shape. The bust falls into an elegant drape, while the wide neckline and armholes keep the overall look relaxed and modern. Finished with an invisible side zip, it’s a satisfying make with a clean, polished result.

Sizing:
The pattern includes sizes XXS–XXL (EU). The key measurements to consider when choosing your size are the bust and waist, as these define the fit through the body.

Fabric Suggestions:
Designed for woven fabrics, this top works beautifully in a wide range of materials. Try linen, cotton poplin or taslan for a more structured look, or opt for something softer and more fluid like viscose, crepe or satin. Lightweight wool, chiffon or organza will give a more delicate, dressy finish.
