A CLASSIC WITH A TWIST

Meet Orla, the shift top sewing pattern with a clever mix of classic styling and modern details. With its semi-fitted shape, flattering darts and contemporary exposed zip, Orla is a rewarding project for sewists looking to add new techniques to their repertoire!

The front bodice features curved French darts, while contour and shoulder darts shape the back for a comfortable fit. Choose full-length or cropped sleeves, each with a subtle shoulder pleat, and finish your top with either a simple neckline or the adorable snowdrop collar. The dipped hem provides extra coverage at the back and is neatly finished with a facing.

Wear Orla over jeans or leggings for everyday outfits, pair it with slim-fit trousers for the office, or tuck it into a skirt for a smarter look. The collared version also makes a lovely layering piece under knitwear.
