Don't you love it when you can sew a pattern in woven or knit fabric? The Samson top is oversized with dropped shoulders and a boat neck, for a modern, comfortable silhouette. This top hits at the high hip, but you can lengthen or crop it to match your style.
Morgan is wearing a size 20 Samson shirt sewn in Robert Kaufman Essex Yarn Dyed Linen in Mocha from Modern Domestic and Arietta Ponte De Roma in Solid Burgandy from Modern Domestic. Her measurements are 48", 41 1/2", 52" and she is 5'9".
Fabric & Fit
Fabrics to shop: Look for medium-weight wovens or knits, such as linen, shirting, lawn, voile, rayon challis, silk or cotton jersey, ponte, double knit, and French terry. If you want more drape for this top, use a knit. If you want more structure, shop for a woven.
Fabrics to avoid: Quilting cottons and thicker woven fabrics might be too structured for this top.
Fit: The Samson top is oversized, so pay attention to the finished garment measurement chart to select your size.
