The Dayscape Top is a flirty spin on the boho blouse, with a signature Les Perlines twist!
It features a playful tie detail at the back and an adjustable front drawstrings that lets you control the gathers for a fit that works on every body. The pattern includes two lengths: a cropped version that sits perfectly with high-waisted jeans, or a longer version that tucks effortlessly into pants.
With three sleeve styles : short and lightly gathered, puffy mid-length, or long with an elasticated cuff, the Dayscape Top is romantic, versatile, and guaranteed to be on repeat in your wardrobe!

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS:
The Dayscape top is designed to work with light to medium weight woven fabrics like cotton (lawn, voile, poplin, crinkle cotton, shirting), linen (washed linen, linen noil) rayon and viscose (crepe, voile, poplin, twill, challis) and tencel twill. Fabrics like cotton will give more structure and volume and fabrics like rayon will have more drape and fluidity.
For fabrics that are more delicate or slippery to work with, it’s highly recommended to interface the following pieces with lightweight interfacing: the front channel (2), the back channel (4), the shoulder yoke (5), the puff sleeve hem (10) and the long sleeve hem (12). Since these are mostly smaller pieces, it will help stabilize them and make sewing easier.
