From Odacier:

The Thea Rachelle Raglan is an adaptable top that can be worn to a picnic with cut-off jeans, or over a gown on a special occasion. A shirt length version sewn in willowy double-gauze, paired with blue jeans and tennis shoes is an earnest everyday staple. Top a pair of leggings with a thick flannel or gingham tunic and wear it to a pub, and allow the roomy pockets to stand in for a pocketbook. A cropped top assembled in sturdy wool plaid or a jacquard weave makes a handsome over-piece, just-right with a dress or high waist pants.

The body can be made wide or extra wide with the addition of pleats. The area between the single-fold pleats makes a sweet frame for a decorative accent: add a piece of coveted trim or a square of vintage embroidery. 

The instructions in this pattern are written for an Advanced Beginner or a Very Brave Beginner, but the construction techniques are geared to an Intermediate Sewer. You are a smart person and, with patience, a little practice, and maybe the help of a sewing friend, you are fully capable of sewing this garment.
