Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a dolman top different from a regular top?
A dolman has no separate armhole seam. The sleeve and body are cut as one T-shaped piece. The underarm seam is one long curved seam from cuff to hem — much simpler to construct.
What fabric works best for a batwing top?
Drapey knits (jersey, modal, bamboo) show off the batwing silhouette best. Woven fabrics (crepe, rayon challis, voile) also work and give a more structured look.
