This one has a round neckline with front slit. No closures, it slips on over the head with the neck binding extending into tie ends. In real life the ties don’t blend into the background of the body quite as much as they do in a photo. Sleeves are slightly lengthened from the previous shirt and are gathered by elastic in a casing. The sleeves are a single layer of voile, but for modesty the fronts and back have been underlined with batiste. Not sure how necessary that was due to the dark navy background of the print, but better safe than non-wearable.
I think there may be one more top using the darted block before I move on. I have a nice cotton shirting with a thin stripe that could be fun to play around with for a short sleeved collared shirt. I keep being enticed away from that by seeing some pretty tops with scalloped edging that I’d like to try in a solid linen, but I prefer to sew solids using my shoulder princess seamed block, so we’ll see which top wins out.
