This top all started with the fabric. I found this piece of super soft striped mystery fabric at the Michael Levine LOFT and snatched it right up. It would have made a fabulous scarf. Did I mention it’s super soft? But I decided it would also make a great Lou Box Top. If you're not familiar with the LBT (as I call it), it's a loose fitting top for wovens and knits with three different hem options and two necklines. It's extremely versatile and it's also my most popular pattern.
DIY Zip Back Lou Box Top Variation
Hello lovelies! Today I have yet another variation of the Lou Box Top to share with you. This version is inspired by two lovely sewists that I've had the pleasure of meeting online, Emily of In the Folds and Rebecca from Vida Doce. I have more of these tops than I can count and this one quickly became a favorite. I've been wearing it at least once a week since I finished it, usually with my Birkin Flares (yay! for me-made). But without further ado, on to the details of this top.
