Asymmetric top
A one-shoulder asymmetric top.
① Measurements
Size
Drafted by the FreeSewing engine — a proper, sewable block. Wearing ease and seam allowance are already included.
② Fabric & layout
Drafting…
Suggested fabric
Cotton jersey · Rayon/spandex jersey · Modal jersey · Interlock
150–220 gsm (4.4–6.5 oz/yd²) · stretch needed
soft drapey knit that follows the body
A one-shoulder asymmetric top needs a stretch knit so the single shoulder and neckline stay snug and don't gape; a soft rayon or cotton jersey drapes cleanly over the bare shoulder and finishes neatly with a coverstitched or banded edge.
Avoid: Wovens with no stretch, Stiff ponte, Bulky sweatshirt fleece
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut

Atelier notes
- 01Pick your size; the draft already includes wearing ease.
- 02Sew a quick calico toile first — these are statement shapes, so check the fit and drape before cutting your fabric.
- 03Watch the grainline and stay-stitch any deep curves before they stretch.
