52     52" / 132 cm     47" / 119 cm     53" / 135 cm     73" / 185 cm

These are BODY measurements, not the finished garment. The top is cut with a deliberately relaxed fit — choose your size on your chest measurement.

A word on height: each size is drafted for the height shown in the last column. If you are shorter or taller than that, adjust the body and sleeve length before you cut — it takes two minutes and it makes all the difference on a top with a shaped hem.

🧺 FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
Based on 59" / 150 cm wide fabric.

Main fabric — 0.9 yd (0.8 m) for the smaller sizes, increasing to [ ] yd ([ ] m) for the largest. See the pattern for your exact size.
Lightweight fusible interfacing — 0.3 yd (0.3 m), all sizes, for the neckline.

Recommended fabrics: linen, linen blends, cotton-linen, cotton poplin, cotton lawn, double gauze, rayon, viscose, chambray, and other lightweight cotton wovens. Softer fabrics let the front hem overlap sit naturally; anything crisp will hold the curve away from the body.

🎀 PATTERN DETAILS
🔀 Overlapping curved front hem — the detail that makes it
⌄ Notch neckline: a clean round neck with a short centre-front slit
↘️ Dropped shoulders for a soft, easy shoulder line
🌀 Short sleeves finished with folded cuffs
🧍 Relaxed, straight, breathable silhouette
🚫 Pullover — no buttons, no zip, nothing to fit
📄 Layered PDF: A4, US Letter and A0 copy shop
🌞 Made for heat, holidays and weekends
🎁 A genuinely good handmade gift for a man who is hard to buy for

🧰 MATERIALS NEEDED
Lightweight woven fabric (quantities above) · lightweight fusible interfacing · coordinating thread · basic sewing supplies: scissors or rotary cutter, pins or clips, iron · sewing machine

🧵 SKILL LEVEL
Confident beginner. There is no collar, no placket, no buttonhole and no zip — the main seams are straight and it comes together quickly. Two steps are worth slowing down for: the point at the bottom of the neck slit, which wants to be crisp, and the curved front hems, which pucker if you rush the turn. Take those two slowly and the rest is an afternoon.
