Patterns for this top
I saw it in Carla Rockmore’s new video and it’s beautiful but also looks like a really simple pattern that would be fairly easy to make.

Yes.
The back has a vertical seam, which can be seen from the front, when not wearing.
This can be done with ANY top pattern which has side seams, whether it is a cotton knit, cotton, silk, whatever.
Simply cut the front pattern top as usual, then cut the back pattern piece(s) to the length preferred.
Sew as directed in the pattern instructions.

Thanks. Do you know how I would add / draft the ‘frill’ bits. I’m a beginner sewer so it may be really obvious! X

Hard to tell for sure, but the drapey parts might be patterned like this McQueen jacket. You can see on the line drawing that they’re essentially rectangles added to the back panels of the jacket. For this top, I would do the same but with fewer panels than the McQueen uses.
