Pattern and Instructions: The Honor Roll Top
All Charm School students will head to the top of the class with the Honor Roll Top!
This classic, relaxed-fit woven top is an elevated basic, and with a cap sleeve, front and back V neck, invisible side zipper, and optional collar, it’s bound to become a popular addition to your everyday wardrobe.
We've opted to make our tops in drapey breezy rayon challis, silk crepe de chine, and viscose challis, but it would be equally lovely in simple light-weight cottons, too!
Don’t forget to watch the companion tutorial video and then share your makes with the hashtags #charmpatterns and #honorrolltop.
xoxo,
Gertie

I tried to print 7,8,19, and 20 pages from this pattern and it just prints blank pages. Does someone know why this would happen or how to fix it?
I’m looking forward to making this with my Mando fabric
I just finished a couple of these this week. My only complaint is not having a higher back neck option. But I will figure that out on my own for my next one
This might be my new favorite top to have in my wardrobe. I love the silhouette
Loving this pattern :) For a future modification/expansion pattern idea, a rounded collar and a higher neckline for the back would be amazing, as not everyone likes to show their backs (myself included). Would love to have this as a staple in my wardrobe
Oh! This is so cute. I love that the neckline isn't too deep. Will the sew along have guidance for the collar?
Would it be possible to see a photo of this top not tucked in? I am trying to get an idea of how long the final shirt is but that's not mentioned in the pattern that I can find and all the pictures posted appear to be styled with it tucked in.
Wondering if I can hack a button up for the back 🤔🤔
What skirt is being worn with the first two photos?
I believe it's the Stanwyck skirt
Can the invisible zipper be fixed? All other areas show the letters in white but the zipper info es all black.
Yes! We'll have this fixed and re-uploaded as soon as possible.
Yes!!! I really hope there’s more patterns like this (woven tops) coming to Patreon! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love the collar and back; can this be adapted to add to a skirt as part of a dress?
Love it! This is going to look perfect with my new Marilyn Jeans.
Hi Gertie and team! The page of instructions that talks about Invisible Zippers has black text on a grey black background and it’s unreadable. I have a screenshot I could send to show you.
They must have fixed it or maybe it is something with your computer. The invisible zipper page has white text for me.
First pattern all year that I can see me using
I love it ❤️
Gorgeous xxx
Is it just me or does page 9 (Invisible Zippers) not load correctly? The text looks distorted.
Thanks for letting us know! We'll have this fixed and re-uploaded as soon as possible.
Which skirt haas she paired it with please?
The red one is the Stanwyck skirt. The black one looks like the Charm Circle skirt.
Really great basic top! I almost guessed a woven v neck with collar option after the hint, but thought "nah that's the mariner top!" Luckily this is different enough to warrant making both 😊
Love this! Love the back details and rayon challis has become one of my favorites going into hot weather!
Oh Perfect!
Nice but wish iit didn’ t have the plunging back.
You can just alter the pattern. Ex add 1"-3" to the collar, facing and collar.
Big win! Excited to have a Gertie pattern designed for woven fabrics featuring this silhouette/neckline.
YAY! This is great. I have a Liberty print that would be fantastic in this!
OH This is my first release as a patreon member and I AM SO EXCITED! This is just perfect :D
I can’t get to my fabric stash fast enough. Thank you, Gertie and Team Charm!
Absolutely LOVE this! Great hard working wardrobe piece. Thank you Gertie and team, a wonderful blouse 👚 ❤️
😍😍😍
Yes! I love this Gertie! Thank you!!
I think will come together quickly and give me the opportunity to work on my v-neck and collar skills! I may extend it down to a dress and add shirring to the waist like the jiffy dress eventually!
Lovely. I love all the wonderful dresses, but in my everyday life I wear much more skirts, pants and blouses and tops. I hope that we get more blouse patterns this years. Thank you, Gertie❤️
I think this will also make a cute bodice for a dress. Simply add a skirt and a longer zip.
This is super cute! I can't wait to make one
Other than it being in a woven as opposed to a knit, it's too much like the Hepburn top in terms of style. Was soooo hoping for a fitted button up blouse
Check out the Charm Patsy Blouse!
Love this!!! Thank you!!
yay!
I REALLY loved the one sheet for drawing on and notes that you did with the previous Instructions. It would be very cool if you could add that sketch page to every pattern <3
Thank you thank you thank you! I've been hoping for this for so long.
AHHHH!!! I love it so much!!
OMG. I'm sewing a red Stanwyck circle skirt at this moment, and now I need this top with it. LOL :)
Yay!
Another wardrobe staple for the win.
A quick staple summer top! Very handy to match with lots of different combinations 🙏
We love a separate!
Hooray for wardrobe staples! And what pattern are those capris? 👀
I bet they are Audrey's!
This is a super cute top! Looks like it'll come together quickly too! Just a suggestion - could we have a non-tucked in version for the reveal when the patterns are tops like this? I really like to see where the line falls bc I will NEVER tuck. It makes my apple shape look insane. Thanks!
I love this top!
I love this top!! I can see myself making lots of these!! Thank you!!!!💕
Love the name and style. Think this could be made from stable knits too!
This is my plan!
SO CUTE 🥰
Love it <3
Love this
So freaking cute! I really appreciate the woven pattens that don’t need 7 yards of fabric. I have so much woven and sometimes not quite enough for a skirt or dress
I agree! Also I wear separates a lot and really need some non-button up woven tops. I literally don’t have a single one 😂
This is so so cuteeeee!!
this will definitely come in handy! something to go with all the skirts!
I absolutely love this one
This is cute af. I need it on every colour.
Gorgeous and I have loads of rayon that I was looking for a pattern for! In walks this one!! 😂😂
Yay!!!! A simple, woven blouse!!
The low v-back is wonderful!
Wow! I love this. Looks like it's an easy quick make. Looks comfortable to wear. Thanks team Gertie
That's very cute - Love it!
Thank you so much! I needed a v-neck!!!
How did you read my mind??!! I needed this! I’m printing this ASAP!
Low-key rlly boring
Try adding some fun embroidery, maybe? You can usually do extra cool stuff since you can embroider or embellish the pattern pieces before you sew them together. The best part about simpler patterns like this is that you can really go to town on the personalization and it doesn't compete with the lines or anything.
Love it!!!
Love, love, love this!
Soooooo cute!!
LOVE IT
Oh I love this!
Ooo, this is perfect! So excited!
