Valerie Top Pattern is here!


Here's our latest Valerie Top Pattern. This sleeveless top pattern is loose and comfortable, ideal for a cool summer top. The side gathered darts, featured on both the front and back, provide the perfect detail to set this top apart from your average tank. The pattern is suited to soft fabrics with weight and drape e.g. silk crepe de chine, rayon, double georgette and silk/cotton voiles.


 This pattern really does work best made up in a silk crepe de chine, silk/cotton or cotton voiles and soft, drape-y rayons. The fabric used in the image at top is an Italian silk crepe de chine from last summer and here you can see Valerie made up in another printed silk crepe de chine. 

I hope you like the pattern!

Our Valerie Top Pattern (sizes XS,S, M and L all included) is available in hardcopy OR Print At Home A4/Copy Shop versions.

    Oh My GOD! I love this pattern! You must have designed this just for me and that fabric is just devine! I'm not one to gush, but I just can't help it! I'll have to pop over tonight to the shop and get my hands on it. Love it!

      Hey Christy. Glad to know you love the pattern and can't wait to see your version! (PS. in case you were thinking of heading to Chatswood, just wanted to let you know that we're not open late on Thurs nights anymore)

      Sorry, please excuse my poor use of English. I'll pop over to the online shop to get my copy tonight! Hopefully I'll have it made up shortly. :)

    Just use the currency converter...the price is a little more than $!0 US dollars if you get the downloadable version. Really beautiful and adorable. Tessuti has some beautiful patterns, I must say. I'm still eyeballing the vest version, verily.
