True Bias Ogden Cami
The Ogden Cami is a simple blouse that can either be worn on its own or as a layering piece under blazers and cardigans. It has a soft v-neck at both centre front and centre back necklines, and 3/4" wide straps. The neckline and armholes are finished with a partial lining for a beautiful, high end finish. I have made many versions of the Ogden, and love each version. With a simple pattern, the options to alter the pattern are endless, so you can really make a unique item that is truly your own.
View: Soft v-neck at both centre front and back of the top with two straps. Half lined to provide coverage even with lighter fabrics. The 14-30 version has bust darts for shaping.
Fabrics: Light weight woven fabrics. Silk, cotton lawn, voile, silk, chiffon, rayon challis, viscose, crepe, and georgette. I have even made it twice now with a double gauze for a much more structured boxy fit and love it.

Fabric & notions from my shop
- Art Gallery Fabrics Capri toile Viscose - riviera vibes with the most beautiful seaside town prints in blues and greens and interspersed with yellow lemons and the most beautiful drape that viscose is known for.
- Embroidered Double Gauze - this denim coloured version is just beautiful and would work for a slightly more structured and boxy version of the Ogden.
- Light Wash Chambray - mid wash is always a good shade to put on with any outfit. Chambray gives the look of denim but the feel of a light cotton.
- Poppy Cotton Lawn - lawn is a light weight cotton that is perfect for skirts that call for movement. This print is full of beautiful reds, pinks and greens to give that summer meadow feel.
