... something like this:
or this:
I don't want a ribbed welt on the sleeves or bottom, but I can alter that myself. Shoulders can be dropped or set in. Oh - and it needs to be a pdf pattern.

I don't know what kind of tops they are, but the colours are lovely.

They're from Cotton Traders. I love them, but I hate wearing anything that clings to my hips, and if I get one from them that fits my hips I will be totally swamped at the top.

Ooh - thanks
@Vezelay
- there's certainly potential in both of those. I'd have to check the finished measurements because fleece is stretchier than the cotton jersey I want to use, but the Indie pattern companies tend to be pretty good at giving finished measurements.

Another option if you didn’t mind princess seams.

Thanks
@Puzzler
- I don't think I've ever made anything with princess seams, but I do like that. That's a new designer to me, too. Always glad to find new designers!
