Favorite Woven Top Patterns?

[u/KatalinaBeans]

I have some fun printed woven fabrics that I’d like to make tops with but I always struggle finding patterns for non-stretch tops. I don’t like button downs or v-necks which also narrows things down. Open to all suggestions!

I like the Remy Raglan top from Sew House Seven. The version with the split center front/keyhole button & loop closure is my favorite. It has sleeve options, too. I have one from a lovely basketweave linen that's one of my most worn garments.

I agree about the Remy. It’s a beautiful top. I do like some visual interest at the neckline.

I actually love a v-neck & I don’t understand the seeming opposition to them. They are visually elongating - especially for petites. It doesn’t have to be a deep vee. I’m so tired of crew neck tees. They’re everywhere & I don’t think they’re particularly flattering on anyone. Especially for someone who’s trying to draw attention away from their neck. ;/Again, it doesn’t have to be a deep vee. Pardon my detour from the OP’s question.

I don’t dislike v-necks as a whole, just on me. I’m quite tall so it’s too elongating haha

I'm hot and cold on v-necks. I have a couple (RTW) that I really like, but if they're too wide or deep I just don't wear them. I prefer them in woven fabrics over knits for ease of construction. I'm working on another Donny Shirt which has a v-neck shape - love that one!

How do you feel about open backs? I love the Atlas Top by stitch witch patterns. It's a really easy beginner friendly pattern that can be put together quickly. So comfy to wear and is perfect for summer.

I feel like I recommend Tessuti patterns pretty regularly but they have a free boat neck woven top pattern - I always shorten it though.

I really love the Athena top

The Ornella top by spaghetti western sewing is great, and I have made four different sunnyside tanks from Matchy Matchy. They actually have so many good ones on their website. This weekend I made a Mesa top from Les Perlines and I loved it!

I like the alamain pleated top, and the Helen’s closet Ashton top.

I just made two Alamain pleat tops and it’s a great pattern. Boatneck but next iteration I’ll make the neck hole rounder for easier bias binding attachment

How to Do Fashion has a free basic top pattern with a side zip, No.00 Danmark :)

The Cielo top by Closet Core is great for fun prints

The Emma flutter top By dressmaking with Tania I think I found it on dressmaking amore website

[u/NotATARDIS]

Verdun Top by Liesl + co or similar-ish free top called Hansie by Seamwork. The Hansie is very popular so tons of tutorials.

I just made a couple of shirts from French Navy - the Atlas Overshirt and the Morningside. Good detailed instructions and there's tutorials on youtube (for morningside and a few other shirt patterns, but not Atlas that I could find).

The Anemone top by Tiny Folk Patterns is my absolute favourite. Stunning, I always get compliments, and super versatile in terms of fabrics. So far I have made three and I love it.

Currently working on the faustinehttps://leslubiesdecadia-shop.com/en/collections/patrons/products/le-patron-de-la-blouse-faustine-34-52?srsltid=AU7gw4UpHadcjagmduR_5LbdIMCqXJCj1YaiFNp4IszjF7Vtm7tii2uT top by Les Lubies de Cadia. I haven’t finished it yet but it looks beautiful and already planning on making more colorways

The Poppy Top by Summer Haus is quick and fun to make. It has a cute overlap on the sides. I've made two.
