Expanded 6-22 sizing : The Brigitte Top

Our much-loved Brigitte Top pattern is now available in the extended size range of 6–22. One of our most popular patterns since 2014 (here’s our original post), the Brigitte Top is a timeless wardrobe staple that offers style, ease and comfort.

Brigitte is a simple, fitted, bateau (boat neck) style that allows the perfect canvas for showcasing knit fabrics such as viscose/elastane, cotton/elastane and lightweight ponti. Try solids, playful prints or stripes for that classic Breton look.

Another thing to love about Brigitte is that the pattern offers not one but FOUR sleeve lengths – cap, elbow, three quarter and full.

Whether you’re a seasoned sewer or just starting your handmade wardrobe, Brigitte’s simple construction and shape make it a satisfying and quick make. Pair it with denim for an everyday look, tuck it into a skirt for an effortless work outfit, or layer it under a jacket for a stylish seasonal transition piece, as pictured with our Lisbon Jacket (above).

The black & white sample pictured below is made up in our Onyx Stripe Jersey viscose/elastane and at 250gsm, is the perfect weight for Brigitte.

The Brigitte Top comes in (Australian) sizes 6-22 and is now available in both hardcopy and PDF copy shop/print-at-home versions. We can’t wait to see your versions and if you’re sharing them with us on Instagram, don’t forget to use the #TessutiBrigitte and #TessutiPatterns hashtags.
