Sometimes you find things that make you say "Wow". That is how I feel about this top.
This is the Striped Cap-Sleeve Top by Carolina Herrera. Price tag: $1590.00. Details: round neckline, button front, cap sleeves, relaxed fit, viscose/elastine, dry clean.
I love, love, love the look of this top and sincerely hope I can locate a pattern that I can duplicate it. This is such a beautiful play with stripes. You really need to check the Neiman Marcus site so you can see the whole outfit because it is matchy, matchy.
I started looking for a kinda similar pattern because perfect matches are hard to find. I did find a pattern that might work. Here is the line drawing:
This is the bonus view of the Sage Top from Seamwork. Yes, that means you have to be a member at Seamwork to have access to this view. What the pattern has - shoulder princess seam, button front. What the pattern doesn't have - cap sleeves, higher neckline, center back seam.
I will continue to look around for other alteratives. As much as I like the Seamwork community, the top patterns are a real struggle for me to fit as I am much shorter in the upper chest. Sometimes, the struggle of fitting is not worth the amount of time that it takes to accomplish for one garment.
Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.
Happy Stitching!
