It takes less than a yard of fabric.
You can make out of woven or knit (drapier fabric is better with the long sleeve version).
It's a well balanced shape with great proportions.
ITS FREE

My latest version of it has a scooped hem, minimal cuffs and a smaller, bound neck opening.
I am prompted to mention this pattern again after seeing numerous PDF patterns for $10 and up that are no better and give no better instructions or results than this one.
NUMEROUS.
Any Tina, Trina or Augustina can publish a PDF pattern for a boxy top if they like.
But this one is really good.
A few variations on this.

| This one (inside out to show seams) got a turtleneck added to it |
The dart takes some of the bulk out of it in a heavier fabric. You can add a cowl or a turtle or a v-neck. You could extend it into a tshirt dress. This thing rocks in a crepe. The Lady Elroy knit crepe will give you a top in a yard or less (the following ones took 3/4 yard, and for an expensive piece of yardage, a great 'sew the precious' project.
Just squeaks by on 3/4" yd. Pieced cuffs and neck trim came from scraps at the top and the sides.

| This is what I had left from the bike shirt |
 |
| This crepe knit needs to dry flat and be reshaped like a sweater; I swear that hem was even when I made it. |
 |
| I add Hug Snug for stay tape at the back of the neck and the shoulders to prevent it from stretching out |
 |
| To avoid headlights, with this fabric, I marked the bust point on the pattern |
You could buy the fabric from them to support this amazing freebie!
