Paxton Shell
Perfectly patterned tiles look their best with a polished shine, and this cotton/modal blend delivers. The crisp, clean lines are matched with perfectly tailored fit to form a classic layering piece that will be a staple of your spring and summer wardrobe for years to come.
Worked in flat pieces from the bottom up, the shell features straight sides; only the larger sizes include a slight taper to accommodate hips. The bodice is shaped in both front and back, widening towards English-tailored shoulders: the front armhole is deeper than the back armhole and wraps over the top of the shoulder for an angled seam lying neatly behind the shoulder line.
Stitch pattern is both written and charted.
