The Revel Topper Pattern By Sew House Seven

The Revel Topper is a simple boxy top that is just long enough to tuck into a high to mid-rise bottom. Its unique feature is the shawl collar and front yoke facing.

Version A – Features angled bust darts and is slightly fitted at the bust and waist. The shoulders extend to become short sleeves with deep facings.

Version B – The same cut as version A, but slightly longer and with a narrower cut-on sleeve finished with a wide cuff that lands just above the elbow.

Version C – A modified poncho with wide, bracelet length sleeves. This version is very loose fitting and does not include darts.

Light to mid-weight woven fabrics with a subtle drape such as linen, viscose/linen blends, Ecovero challis, and Tencel chambray.
