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