How to sew a Liberté top?
Here's Liberté, a model that comes in 3 versions: crop top, tunic or dress, depending on your desires! With two patch pockets and a shirt collar above a V-neckline, it looks a little like a vareuse. However, its pagoda sleeves give it a groovy '70s feel.
Of course, given the simplicity of the model, there's nothing to stop you from exploring very different styles, from the couture wedding dress by extending it to the feet in silk faille, or on the contrary by splitting it all the way down the front to transform it into a jacket in extravagant brocade or velvet panne, and even a mini-dress version in psychedelic Woodstock festival-style fabric - all materials lend themselves to this model. You can remove or move the pockets, or shorten the sleeves. And if you want a total look with crop-tops and pants, choose a model like the Kevin or the Harya.
To sew Liberté, you'll need (for the largest size):
- 1.70m in 140cm for the crop-top version,
- or 2m in 140cm for the tunic version,
- or 2.10m in 140cm for the dress version,
- a little fusible web for the collar.
