Jourdan Top – PDF Sewing Pattern

I draft and grade my sewing patterns for a height of 5’5” (1.65m) from size 34 to 60 (see below). When applicable, the size range is divided between 34-46, developed for B/C cup size, and 46-60, developed for a DD cup size.

If your body measurements are at least one size outside of the size range, I grade up or down at no cost.

See the sizing page for more information.

Choose your size closest to your bust measurement.

Finished garment measurements, size range 34-46

Finished garment measurements, size range 46-60

Measurements in centimeters, then inches.

I am 5'3" / 1m60 and wear the white, blue and stripe samples in size 34 with no alterations. Lilli is 5'5" / 1m65, she wears a floral cotton version in size 50 at the shoulders progressively graded to 52 at the hips. Pauline is 5'7" / 1m70 and she wears a denim version in size 44 with no shaping at the waist.

The cover sample is made from linen. For this pattern, I recommend light to mid-weight woven fabrics with a little body and a soft drape, such as linen, linen blends, cotton poplin, chambray, Tencel, or viscose. Softer fabrics let the top drape more fluidly when tied.
