Cute Liberty Top – Summer or Autumn Wear

A really cute Liberty top made with a sweet fabric from the new Autumn/Winter collection.  The top has a really nice scoop neckline with flattering pleating towards the bustline.  Great to wear with jeans and trainers for a casual look or would look great too with more formal trousers.  I really love this fabric – it’s fun yet sophisticated!

This one is without sleeves, but the pattern also has options for 3/4 sleeves.  The Liberty of London fabric ‘Hilandmich’ is taken from an indigo print in a silk pattern book dated 1900.  All of the prints from the newest Liberty Autumn/Winter 15 collection are inspired from historical fashion books from the Liberty archives.  The ‘Synchronicity’ collection draws colours and patterns from an array of garments spanning 6 centuries of design.  I have curated a wide choice from the new collection which you can peruse on my website at your leisure.

Thanks so much to Emma Thompson for making this for me – it looks great!
