There’s no doubt about it – Clara has got sophistication to spare! You can breathe a big sigh of relief though, because it's easy-peasy to make. A willowy top with a lovely round neckline and cap sleeves, Clara can be easily given different, charming looks with a tie-front or tie-back. Or worn loose. Without the ties, the design is most assuredly oversized. It's easy to lengthen or shorten Clara to best suit your preferences. Want our style advice? Check it out here. Finally, for your own creative twist on Clara, make your own original ties or go for a stunning cord. Clara is ready to go. Where was that party again?

Fabric advice

Jersey fabrics (viscose, silk, cotton, etc.) are perfect for Clara. The knit loops of jersey fabric make it super stretchy and springy; jersey drapes like a dream. We used a fine-knit viscose, polyester and elastane blend. Is woven more your thing? Double gauze, muslin, crêpon, or other types of crepe, cotton or viscose voile are all brilliant options.
