You'll love this stylish V-neck top, with a fashionable twist along the cleavage line and a tie at the back neckline. Choose from sleeveless, puff, or 3/4-length sleeve. The pattern includes an optional front flounce and a modesty panel for more coverage. When made with a stretchier fabric, the shirt can be worn both during and after pregnancy.

Like all Jalie patterns, this one (Jalie 2788, also sold in our maternity section) includes sizes for the very small to the much larger (girls' 2 to women's 22, though the maternity part will hopefully only apply to a subset of that). Written in French and English. All sizes require less than two yards of fabric. For maternity wear you'll want to choose a fabric with a 70% four-way stretch, while non-maternity wear will be fine with a 40% four-way stretch.

People who choose Jalie patterns appreciate their simplicity, easy-to-follow instructions, and the wide range of sizes included - up to 32 different sizes in each package. This encourages creativity as well as saving you time and money. The pattern pages are printed on durable paper rather than tissue, extending the life of the pattern. To preserve your pattern, you'll want to trace your desired sizes; we recommend using our Kwik Trace Cloth or Swedish Tracing Paper for that purpose. Sewing instructions are included on the pattern pages rather than on a separate paper; for ease of use you may want to copy the instructions to another sheet.
