Ornella Top

The Ornella Top is a PDF sewing pattern inspired by lowbrow tourist t-shirts, hot fries, cold drinks, open-air dance floors with disco balls, and ketchup stains that add a little je ne sais quoi to the outfit.

The Ornella top is a cropped tank featuring a high neck,  scooped armscye, and bralette-shaped cutout.  The neckline is designed to sit at the base of your collarbone bone and the side seam hem is designed to hit your body around your upper hip bone.  Ornella should fit snuggly around the neck/arm area, and gradually loosen to an A line/trapeze style rounded hem.

The sewing difficulty level is suitable for confident beginners and beyond. 

Skills learned in this pattern: 

• Basting & easing pattern pieces
