Buy the Cara Top sewing pattern from Modern Sewing Co. The Cara Top is a simple summer blouse that is flexible enough to wear in a wafty muslin at the beach or in a smarter silk as part of a wedding two-piece. The cut features a square officer collar, small bust dart and gentle A-line silhouette. It comes with two length options, shorter to sit right on the hip or a little longer to hit the top of the thigh.
