The Marine Top & Dress by Closet Core Patterns is a modern take on the iconic Breton marinière. With its slouchy fit, dropped shoulders, gently flared sleeves and classic bateau neckline, Marine brings effortless French-inspired style to a comfortable knit top or dress.

View A is a top with wrist-skimming sleeves and a shoulder-wide neckline facing enclosed in the armscye. View B is a dress with 3/4-length sleeves and a standard neckline facing.

Both views feature a wide bateau neckline, topstitched facing and split hem for a polished finish.
