Cora Top sewing pattern by Sew Over It.
Size 8-10-12-14-16-18-20
See the sizing guide in the image gallery for more sizing information.
The Cora Top is a breezy, easy-to-wear staple that you won’t be able to sew just one of. Simple to make but with lots of fun details, it’s a quick, addictive sew with tonnes of satisfaction. Easily dressed up or down, Cora pairs beautifully with your smartest tailored trousers for work, as well as your comfiest jeans for a weekend at home. It can be worn tucked in or loose to suit your style.
The Cora Top features a V-shaped neckline finished at the front with a unique (and quite magical!) pleat detail. The back also sports a pleat, which cleverly creates the appearance of a yoke, and keeps the shoulders that little more fitted. The grown-on sleeves are comfy and simple to sew, whilst the high-low hem is kept fun and interesting with shallow angled side slits. As well as the top version, Cora also comes with the option to be lengthened into a kaftan-style dress.
There are no darts or gathers required for the Cora Top, which as well as making for a speedy project also means this pattern is ripe for bold, large-scale prints. With just four pattern pieces it’s a fantastic evening project, and a great starting point pattern for anyone new to sewing with lightweight, drapey fabrics.
The Cora Top works best in lightweight woven fabrics with a good amount of drape. We recommend rayon or viscose and lightweight crepes for maximum drape, but you could also use a lightweight linen or cotton voile.
The Cora Top is available in the following formats (just select the one you want from the drop down menu):
If you opt for the printed paper pattern we'll print it on our in-house large format A0 printer and post it to your address.
Please note that we don’t print the instructions. These will be emailed to you as a PDF‚ along with the digital pattern files‚ when we dispatch your paper pattern.
Occasionally some large pattern pieces may be split across two A0 sheets and will need to be joined together.
Choose this option if you would like to print the pattern yourself at home or use your own copy shop/A0 printing service.
Your download link will be sent to you in a separate email shortly after placing your order. We recommend creating an account before placing your order so you can easily access your files again by logging in at any time.
