Q: Can we stitch umbrella cut top to normal cut top? A: There is a Difference Between the layout of the fabric. In Umbrella Cut we lay the fabric diagonally and then do the drafting & cutting, whereas for Normal Cut top we lay the fabric straight. Umbrella cut is used when we desire to have a loose-fitting top, whereas, in Straight Cut, we sew the dress with perfect body measurement. Both have a fantastic look, but if you will try to convert the umbrella cut top to a Straight-cut top, you won't get the desired fitting, you will end up with the fitting which is neither Straight cut nor Umbrella Cut. So, my personal suggestion is not to mess with these two Fashion looks. Thanks.
