Construction techniques: Simple stretch stitch seams and a small amount of topstitching
Suitable fabrics: The Boatneck Top is a fitted jersey pattern which means it needs to be paired with a stretchy fabric. You can use a jersey with an elastane blend or a fabric knitted with plenty of stretch. For a wearable wardrobe basic, we recommend using a lovely lightweight jersey in a fibre of your choice.
Fabric requirements: Our lay plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
