This product is available.
The Paloma Top is a fun and stylish design that’s brimming with personality. With multiple adjustable features and a breezy fit, it’s perfect for feeling ‘put together’ on a warm summer’s day.
Skill level: intermediate
Construction techniques: Topstitch open seams, side slit, flat binding, delicate ties and channels, button loop fastening, hemming.
Suitable fabrics: This style works best in lightweight woven fabrics that are stable, breathable and easy to handle. The design features narrow channels and fine ties, so it’s important to choose a fabric that isn’t too thick or bulky, allowing the ties to move smoothly and sit neatly once threaded through. Lighter shirting fabrics are ideal here, offering enough structure to hold the shape while remaining soft and workable.
