Loose V-Neck Short Sleeve Boho Top with Shirred Hem
A loose V-neck top with a deep neckline, half-length sleeves cut in one with the body, a wide fit through the chest and a shirred band gathering the hem.
The shirred hem is gathered a row at a time, so each shade runs thin.
A shirred hem over jeans on a Sunday
A Sunday at the garden centre is a slow hour between trays of bulbs, with a trolley to push and nothing at all to prove. A top with a shirred band at the hem sits over jeans without being tucked in, because the band holds the fabric at the one place it needs holding and lets everything above it fall loose.
The second look reads the neckline and the sleeve. The V is cut deep, and the sleeve comes out of the body in one piece, so there is no seam across the top of the arm when you reach up for a shelf. It looks like a top picked for the morning rather than the first one off the pile.
Loose through the body, held at the hem — that is the whole trick.
A sleeve cut out of the body
The top is cut loose and wide through the chest, with a deep V at the neck. The sleeves are half length and cut in one with the body rather than set in, which is why there is no seam running across the top of the shoulder.
At the hem the fabric is drawn into a shirred band, which gathers the bottom edge and lets the body of the top fall full above it. The cloth is soft and breathable, which is what a top worn from morning to evening has to be.

Shirring keeps the shades thin
Shirring a hem is slow work next to a plain turned edge, so each shade comes through thin rather than deep. The neutrals clear first, because they go with what is already in the wardrobe, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Take the shade while it is still showing. Fourteen days from delivery is enough to try it with your own jeans and send it back unworn.
