Inspired by dance wear and movement, the Percussion Tee is a modern take on a refined t-shirt! Designed for the drape of a plant-based fiber, it has a gorgeous fit and light weight feel. It is knit bottom-up and features “waist” darts in the front and back for a cinched-waist fit. The shoulders have shoulder shaping for a perfect drop-fit, and the neckline fits like a much-loved crew. Alternatives in the pattern include cinching the armholes, lengthening the body and relaxing the neckline. Wear it to lounge or dress it up, as it is a staple for many wardrobes!

Be sure to check the tester versions, as this has been made with 0-10” of ease and as written or with the alternatives listed in the pattern. Customize yourself the perfect version!
