Basic Floral Tops - Wardrobe



Coram tops and 5 point blouse in floral fabrics



I have been thinking about my wardrobe lately, especially when I walk into my closet and feel like I have nothing to wear.   So I need to fix that and here is my first step, some floral tops. Great by themselves and great layering

First up the Coram Top by Allie Olson, I really love this top, a dart for shaping. This fabric is
 Sewing Studio's Voile, (taupe is only color available.

This pattern has a high-low hem and I am over that right now.  So I evened up the hems, here is the side view, just a bit longer in the back.

I thought this gold voile would go great with my gray-white Morris Blazer and it does.  I like it untucked better but the photos didn't turn out.  It does look with this Morris.

Also, found another blazer, my Bellatrix Blazer

Next up is this Red Clay Crepe fabric from Sewing Studio also

I forgot to adjust the back length, I probably won't fix it but this will be okay.

It looks really good with the gray-white Morris

Third and last for this post, my 5 Point Blouse  minus the zipper

This fabric is Mood Fabrics' Voile, which is a bit stiffer, more like a quilting cotton.  The colors are beautiful and really went with several things

I am loving all my options these three tops give me.  I will be loving wearing these and can't wait to see what other possibilities I can find in my closet.


I am trying to use my scraps from projects, best way is for my granddaughters

  1. Wow, these floral tops are great additions to your wardrobe! You’re inspiring me to pull my Morris blazers out and see what I can come up with to make them more versatile. Love the little mustard colored dress too...!!
