Ellie and Mac Cold Shoulder Top

Ellie and Mac has a new release that is perfect for transitioning into fall - the Women's Cold Shoulder pattern. It has multiple sleeve lengths and a side cinched tunic version. I made the banded top version with 3/4 length sleeves.


I made this Women's Cold Shoulder top with a ribbed sweater knit. Green is my favorite color and this green matched one of my favorite bralettes perfectly.


I did not remove length from the top for my short height. I love the slouchy and comfortable fit of the Women's Cold Shoulder top.


I'm wearing my Women's Cold Shoulder top with my Palazzo Pants in these photos, but think as the weather cools down, I'll pair it with some skinny jeans and boots.


The cold shoulder detail is really cute, but can make it hard to hide bra straps. I think it looks super cute with the bralette though. Hopefully I'm not too old to pull off this look.



Here's a view of the back. The neckline and sleeves are finished with a binding. This can be a little tricky to get perfect. You will definitely want to pay attention to how much stretch and recovery your fabric has when sewing and cutting the binding.


I redid my sleeves twice as this sweater knit was really stretchy and did not have good recovery. But in the end, I think it came out great!


I made this version early in testing. I used cotton lycra for this one. I also removed 2.5" from the length for my height. If you look close, you can see that my bra straps peek out a little bit.


Using cotton lycra is a lot easier than sweater knit for this pattern.


The pattern is only $3.85 through Sunday. In addition all patterns are 40% off  - no code needed, prices are marked on the website.
