I am Marty, a sewing pattern with multiple possibilities, 150 exactly! Yes, I can be sewn in 150 versions thanks to my different styles, collars, sleeves, lengths, button plackets… I can either be a tiered top, tunic or dress, and even a curved hem top or dress. I have 5 sleeve options: sleeveless, short sleeve, shirt sleeve and 3/4 sleeve or long sleeve with elasticated cuff. I have 3 different collars: Mandarin collar, shirt collar, and double shirt collar. I also have 2 buttoning options: polo style button placket or a classic button placket (partial or full length).
With my endless possibilities, you can wear a different version for all occasions, all seasons, all eventualities.

PAPER PATTERN
All seam allowances are included in the pattern.
The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.
The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.
Size 36 to 46. See sizing guide below.
