When I decided to make the Seamwork Dorian Pant, I knew that I would need to make a top to go with the pants. You can see my version of the pants here. I found this fabric at fabric dot com:
This is the Kaufman Sophia Washed Lawn in deep royal. It is a perfect match for my pants. I missed the fact that is was only a hair over 1 1/2 oz per yard. I was happy that I ordered 1 1/2 yards and had enough fabric to double cut the tank. I used this pattern:
Here is a link to the pattern - Phoebe Linen Tank. It is a free pattern and you need to be registered to download it. You can see the muslin here and the finished tanks here. This pattern has kinda turned into a TNT for me. Here's the finished tank with the Dorian pants:
The tank doesn't fit as well as I would have hoped. At least, I don't think it fits as well as the first tanks that I made. This was a learning experience as I have never had to cut two layers to make a top feel comfortable. I'm hoping it will become "love to wear" item for this summer.
Happy Stitching!
