I sew and wear a lot of knit tops.
A lot are prints or colours so the interest comes from that.
But I want to make one in a dark charcoal grey. It will have classic set in sleeves as it needs to go under jackets or the matching jersey cardigan. I then want a 'bit' of something in the upper chest (I am modestly busted) to give some interest in that area.

I did have one plain dark navy top I sewed and wore until it wore out. That had little strips of self jersey (5 I think, I can't find a picture) which were slightly gathered and stitched on in vertical parallel rows in a V shape. the longest in the centre, graduating to shorter. It was a nice detail without being too fussy for me.

I've also seen ones with a lace yoke and or lace sleeves.

I'm also considering a cowl neck though that's quite fabric hungry and I'm using scraps.

Any other ideas for 'interest' in the upper chest whilst still be work appropriate (ie no bling!)

As the hot weather continues I am struggling a bit to find things for work.
The office does have aircon though its a bit patchy, and my car has aircon too. My house however is 1980s and gets quite hot. This is OK at home as can wear shorts, printed viscose trousers etc, but not OK for getting ready for work.
Tops wise I can wear short sleeved tops in breathable fabrics OK. However my normal polyester mix trousers are very sticky when I first get dressed. I'm going to raid the fabric cupboard for thinner but work suitable fabrics and make either culottes or trousers for work.
(My thighs chafe in skirts and dresses, requiring culotte slips, which is an extra layer so not really interested in them.)

I bought Love Sewing magazine and really like the idea of sewing the coat pattern B6423 which is included with it.
In the magazine they show up made up in a solid single fabric, but also in multiple fabrics.
As it takes 3.4 or 3.6 metres of fabric (depending on which size I go for) I thought I could combine several teal fabrics from the resources centre (aka the stash) and have a nice coat.
I generally buy coats so this would be a departure for me, and hopefully a good use of some wool fabrics from my resources.
