Concord T-Shirt Inspiration from Ready to Wear


It’s an exciting time here at Cashmerette! Our best-selling Concord T-Shirt is now available in sizes 0-32!

T-shirts are often taken for granted, but for those of us with large busts, it can be a challenge to get the right fit. If the shirt fits in the bust, our armscyes are often falling off the shoulder; if the shoulders are spot on, our t-shirts are getting over-stretched across the bust, which can be uncomfortable or distort a cute print!

Enter the Concord T-Shirt! Cashmerette’s solution to droopy shoulders and too-tight busts. Now in sizes 0-32 and cup sizes C-H, we hope to serve sewists who struggle to find one of the most ubiquitous wardrobe staples out there—the t-shirt.

Let’s get inspired! The Concord can be anything from a basic white tee to a glamorous cropped top—or even a dress!

You can’t go wrong with some basics! Each view of the Concord lends itself to some version of an everyday top. Full tuck, French tuck, or untucked, a simple, well-fitting t-shirt will become one of your favorite wardrobe staples!

    What happens if your fabric has more than 20% stretch?

    1. That’s fine – it may just be a little looser on you as you move about. If you want a slim-fitting t-shirt you may want to go down a size.

    For my first Concord I’m de-stashing a plum rayon jersey. I’m super excited about the lengthen-to-a-tunic hack…any ideas on how much additional yardage is required?

    1. Hi Alyssa – it really depends on how much additional length you want to add! Given the way the pieces are laid out you’ll need that much more for the front and back – so if you want to add 7 inches you’ll need 14 inches more fabric.

Let me know what you think!
