The Iman Top is your next statement piece — a boxy, waist-length silhouette that does the most without trying too hard. Dramatic flutter sleeves give you that wow-factor coverage you love, while dual chest patch pockets and a center-front split neckline keep it intentional and editorial. The back yoke with inverted pleat elevates this beyond a basic top — it’s the piece that makes people ask, “Did you make that?” Sized for curves, designed for your lifestyle.

  • Boxy silhouette with a waist-length hem — relaxed fit through the bust and body with just the right amount of ease
  • Dramatic flutter/bell sleeves with gathered detail at the sleeve cap for added volume and arm coverage
  • Split center-front neckline with topstitched detail — no collar, no fuss
  • Dual chest patch pockets with topstitched edges — functional and fashion-forward
  • Back yoke with inverted pleat for a clean, structured back view with beautiful movement
  • Easy to layer over maxi skirts, wide-leg pants, or your favorite CMC bottoms

Pattern Difficulty Guide

We believe that anyone can sew anything with enough patience and perseverance. However, knowing how time-consuming or challenging a pattern might be can help you decide what suits your skills and schedule. Our skill levels are based on the techniques each pattern requires, but don’t worry—our patterns will guide you through everything, so feel free to challenge yourself! Here’s how we rate our patterns:

Beginner:
Designed for true beginners with simple designs and easy sewing techniques. These patterns are quick to sew, with no complicated closures like zippers or buttons. They’re perfect if you’re new to sewing or short on time. Expect straightforward construction with minimal hand sewing or fitting required. We recommend using easy-to-handle fabrics.

Confident Beginner:
Ideal for beginners ready to learn new skills. These patterns may include slightly more complex features like zippers or buttons, but they’re still relatively quick to sew. They provide more variety than basic beginner patterns but are great for those with limited sewing knowledge. Some fitting knowledge is helpful, and the fabrics may vary slightly but remain beginner-friendly.

Intermediate:
These patterns offer more details and design complexity, such as zippers, topstitching, or a zipper fly. Projects in this category can take more than 7 hours to complete, so they’re ideal if you have more time and experience. Expect techniques like tailoring or unique construction details. You’ll also encounter a wider variety of fabrics, from stretch knits to synthetic leathers.

Advanced:
Perfect for experienced sewists, these patterns are more detailed and time-consuming, often requiring 9+ hours to complete. Expect more pattern pieces, precision work, and advanced techniques like bound buttonholes or welt pockets. These are highly tailored designs that require patience and skill to achieve a professional finish.
