I’ve had pleasing results from the Cashmerette patterns I’ve used so far, but they have been designed for knits.  The Springfield top was my first foray into a Cashmerette pattern that was designed for wovens.

From the Cashmerette website: Make room in your closet for the Springfield Top! This woven shell is ideal for layering under a cardigan or pairing with dark jeans and your favorite heels. View A features a loose, swingy silhouette and optional hem band, while View B uses back princess seams to beautifully skim your curves. Both variations have scooped necklines, back yokes, and comfortably split side seams. Bring on the weekend! SEWING LEVEL: Beginner. SIZING: 12 to 28, in three cup sizes (C/D, E/F, G/H). RECOMMENDED FABRIC: Light to midweight woven fabric such as cotton lawn, linen, chambray, rayon, crepe or silk. Bias facings are suitable for lightweight fabric only (Store-bought bias tape can also be used). 

I chose to sew view A, utilising fabric scraps that were in stash.  In knits I’ve sewn the size 12 C/D in Cashmerette patterns.  Because of my weight gain and because this pattern was for wovens, I decided to sew it in size 14 C/D.  As it turns out, this was a mistake, and that’s why I only have photos of it on Ada. I should have stayed with the 12 C/D. This top is now in the wardrobe of one of my friends.

As far as the pattern goes, I think it’s very nicely drafted. Although this was too big on me, the overall shape was excellent. I’m definitely going to make this pattern again. I liked the back yoke detailing, and the splits in the at the side hems.

As usual, I made my own bias binding to finish the armholes edges, from the same solid green linen as the back yoke and hem bands. The main fabric is batik.

I’ll definitely pull this pattern out again when the weather warms up. I’d like to try view B and see how those back princess seams go with my short back waist length.
I have a feeling that Cashmerette patterns have a swayback alteration already built in to them (and I suspect they also have a forward shoulder too).  There’s always more to discover in the world of sewing!
