Vogue 1955-B5: stylish and versatile

This top is cut on the bias and features layered fronts for a flattering look. It is finished with an invisible side zip, a hook-and-eye fastening at the back of the neck, and facings at the neckline and armholes. Baby hems give the design a neat finish. View B also includes a back slit opening. Seam allowance of 1.5 cm is included unless stated otherwise, so you do not need to add seam allowances yourself.

A top with plenty of styling options

A handmade top from Vogue 1955 works beautifully with trousers, skirts and jeans. You can wear it on its own or layer it under a blazer or cardigan for a smarter outfit. The bias cut and overlapping fronts give the design a clean, fashionable look, making it a lovely project if you want a pattern that is both practical and elegant.

Fabric recommendation

Choose a soft, drapey fabric so the bias cut hangs well. A viscose dress fabric or other flowing dressmaking fabric will work especially nicely. Take care with the stitching and finishing so the zip and facings sit neatly.
