The Remy Raglan is a simple, relaxed fit top that can be made by a beginner. This top was designed to be worn with sleeve cuffs rolled up and it looks best that way. This is a short, loose top designed to be worn with high waist pants and skirts.
The original design is version #1, plain and simple, however, version #2 offers a little visual interest to the front with a split center and keyhole button closure. There are two sleeve options - short sleeve and 3/4- length sleeves and both work with either versions #1 or #2.

Suggested fabrics
Light weight woven fabrics that are not too stiff such as linen, linen/rayon or linen/viscose blends, cotton voile, silk noil, sand-washed silk and cotton gauze. Be aware that one sided prints do not work for the rolled-up sleeves. Be sure that the front and back sides of your fabric are presentable.
Fabric Requirements
