My style is otome and casual lolita, so one of the reasons I make my own is to get that simpler cute style (and necklines and sleeve sizes that are more flattering for my shape). Cutsews are super versatile, though. I make them from scratch and use two basic silhouettes, set sleeves like this one and raglan sleeves, and change up the style of the collar or neckline, add lace, embroidery, buttons, short sleeves, long sleeves, etc, etc. You can really dress them up or down. Making cutsew boleros and cardigans is basically the same process. You can also use a men's size t-shirt to make yourself silly graphic print cutsews.

Turning a standard t-shirt pattern/tutorial into a puff sleeved top and adding a collar are easy alterations. If someone wants guidance I can post a quick tutorial. Square necks are slightly more advanced with set sleeves but easy with raglan sleeves.
