Notes	The perfect plain top for hot weather. This is super quick and easy to sew, the suggested back zipper is definitely not needed. 1m of fabric for a top with elbow length sleeves is very good, the sleeves did come out longer than the illustration so I have extra length to roll up as I choose. The front, back and shoulder darts give a nice shape to this, whilst keeping it loose enough fitting to be cool and comfortable. I think the Lekala suggestion of embellishing the neckline with beads is interesting, I may make one of these in a plain fabric to try this out when I have some time. This fabric is a Liberty cotton lawn, called "Dynasty".
