You would have to just use the top pattern pieces and lengthen them for where you want it to sit. The link pic looks like it might be a shaped hem? Is that right? edited for correct pattern no. -- Edited on 7/31/12 3:36 PM -- ------ "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel Stash Sewn in 2011 148.5 Yds Stash Sewn in 2012.... counting... http://adonising.blogspot.com

One thing about Loretti patterns is that they don't provide you with a back view or fabric suggestions so I can't tell if the pattern is for knits only or a woven. I don't know why I couldn't even make the sleeves a little longer and omit the belt and the belt loops.

Why not use the New Look pattern but change the boatneck to a round neck? That way, you'll have to pattern to know how much fabric to purchase, which kind, etc. I think you can do this, and if you don't feel you can, let me know and I'll help you. You're an Intermediate and you really might want to give this a try; it's much easier than you think. Just drop the CF neck about 2" and round it up to the shoulder.... Just my thoughts. -- Edited on 7/31/12 8:48 PM -- ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."

simplystitches Intermediate NY USA Member since 2/12/06 Posts: 766	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/31/12 9:16 PM I've used this pattern that's pretty close. Trace the round neckline onto the v neck and lengthen the sleeves. You'll probably have to shorten it as it's really long. There's your pattern! Debbie

So many of the tops with the dolman sleeves are so wide and the armholes are so large that you see everything when you raise your arm. I am short and sometimes those blousey, full tops are overwhelming on me. I think if I shorten the length, lengthen the sleeves and change the neckline that I can achieve the look I want. Also I could use another pattern for some elastic waist shorts and pants for this summer.
