Bessie Top

Bessie top is a versatile woven top pattern in two views. View A has a longer sleeve, which can be rolled up to create an effortless look, and a high-low hem. View B is a button-up shirt which has a two-piece collar, shorter sleeve and a straight hem. Both views have exaggerated two-piece raglan sleeves, which add visual interest to the top through uncommon seam lines. Bessie top has a loose, comfortable fit with plenty of ease, yet the bust darts provide for bust shaping. Sew Bessie up in either view or play with sleeve and hem options to create your own look!
