Construction techniques: Topstitch open seams, side slit, flat binding, delicate ties and channels, button loop fastening, hemming
Sizing & Fit

The Paloma Top is designed with a relaxed fit through the body. Waist and shoulder ties allow for slight fit adjustment while the overall silhouette remains relaxed. The neckline and armholes are the closest fitting areas so we recommend selecting your usual size.

Materials Needed
Suitable fabrics: This style works best in lightweight woven fabrics that are stable, breathable and easy to handle. The design features narrow channels and fine ties, so it’s important to choose a fabric that isn’t too thick or bulky, allowing the ties to move smoothly and sit neatly once threaded through. Lighter shirting fabrics are ideal here, offering enough structure to hold the shape while remaining soft and workable.
Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
