I firmly believe that everyone, no matter their size or shape, should be able to wear any style they want. But let’s be real: when you have big boobs, some styles are near-impossible to find in ready-to-wear. High on that list? Blouses and dresses with dainty buttons and rouleau loops — gorgeous, romantic, and notoriously prone to gaping unless you size up and lose the whole look.
Well, not anymore! I’m so excited to introduce the Inman Top & Dress, this month’s Cashmerette Club pattern — because if there’s one thing we know, it’s how to make styles work for big boobs. The Inman features bust darts in cup sizes C-H and a hidden internal placket, so you get all the beauty of those delicate rouleau loops without a single gap in sight. It’s the kind of garment you thought you couldn’t wear — and now you absolutely can.
Romantic details meet curve-friendly fit in the Inman Top & Dress! This woven V-neck features a front button opening with delicate rouleau loops for a sophisticated touch. Choose between a versatile top or a dress with fisheye darts for elegant shaping. Then top it off with a sweet short puff sleeve or a showstopping long bishop sleeve with elasticated facing—or mix and match with our popular Montrose Top and Alton Blouse for even more options!
All the pretty details, none of the gaping—what’s not to love?

More From the Club This month
While Cashmerette is mainly focused on sewists with C cup boobs or larger, that doesn’t mean you can’t make our patterns if you’re smaller than that! In this month’s masterclass, I’m taking you through how to do a small bust adjustment to adapt our (or any other) patterns to fit busts smaller than a C.
Then join me on Tuesday, April 14th at 12pm EDT (9am PDT, 5pm BST, April 15th @ 2am AEDT) for a live Fit Clinic! Come with your Cashmerette muslins or fit dilemmas, and I’ll help you troubleshoot them in real time. (For the best feedback, send your photos and questions ahead of time to club@cashmerette.com.)
I’ve wanted to make a rouleau loop blouse for years, and I’m so thrilled with my cream linen/cotton Inman Top – I just want the weather to warm up in Boston so I can wear it more!
