3 Easy Steps to Make a Casual Draped Top
"This casual draped top has been one of my favorite go-to basics for a few years now. With spring in full swing, I thought I’d add the project to the blog and share it! Making a draped top doesn’t have to be fussy or complicated. With just a few little hacks in the pattern, you can create a more elegant asymmetrical look without the frustration of excessive gathers and complicated patterns. This casual draped top is actually made from just a basic square. The draped look comes from where you place the neck, armholes, and bottom hemline. Are you ready?"
