Classic and easy to make (once you get past the pictures)

As a tall sewist I find buying shell tops in non stretch fabrics near impossible, they are all too short, and a boxy style that's too short on a squidgy middle aged belly is not a good look. It's one of the things I've started sewing for. I really liked the clean lines and split detail of this, plus it would clearly look great in linen!

I was really pleased this came with a printed booklet (fairly confident beginner, so I still read the instructions a lot), but I was initially really disappointed. The photos are all white fabric with white thread - nearly impossible to see. There aren't any diagrams. This was frustrating. However once I got into it, and after a few false starts and reading of blogs and looking at diagrams for other things, this came together really nicely. The split hem is particularly lovely and crisp.

I graded my pattern from a L at the chest to an XL at the hip, and added length (I'm 6ft, so added quite a lot). For those with hips who like a longer top, just note that you may well need to grade out because of the boxy fit.

I made mine in white linen and this allowed me to use pre-prepped bias tape, which saved me a heap of fabric and means that having completed view A, there is enough fabric to complete B as well. Worth considering if you don't like waste.

Overall this has produced a really lovely top that fits well, and I've received numerous compliments on it despite (or perhaps because) of its simplicity. I will definitely be making more as it's a cracking wardrobe staple - I just wish they would update the instructions with some diagrams and ditch the awful photos.
