The Hadley is drapey, fluid, and sophisticated. It's the semi-formal top that you need to wear to work or to throw over your jeans for a night out. View A has a jewel neck, a pleat at the back neckline, and bracelet length sleeves. View B is sleeveless and features a soft v-neck. Both are subtly geometric as they have center seams in front and back as well as a wide hem.
Suggested fabrics:
Light to medium weight woven fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, rayon, voile or lawn. Avoid fabrics that are too stiff since this top requires a bit of drape. Extra fabric may be needed to match plaids, stripes, or one-way print designs.
Techniques:
Techniques involved include sewing straight and curved seams, setting sleeves, darts, creating a pleat, and applying facings.
