Pattern Description:

This is a beach bra halter top pattern based on a 1950's silhouette. The pattern comes in multiple, easy to use sizes and takes no time at all to put together!
It features a halter with pointed collar and a button back closure.

This pattern is my most popular and has been made several clever ways. Some have cut the back on a fold after adding allowance, and ruched the back with elastic.

This top also makes the perfect bodice for a dress. Just pair it with a great skirt pattern and you've got the perfect summer look.

This pattern includes all seam allowances, cutting diagram and step-by-step- instructions including how to print and assemble the pattern at home.

Pages are formatted for both US Letter and A4 paper.

This is an original design based on a popular 1950's silhouette, not a reproduction.

Cute and easy...instructions a little vague February 17, 2013

This little number turned out really cute and fit surprisingly well with very little altering. The pattern was easy to use, but the actual instructions were very hard to follow (the language was kind of vague and confusing). Fortunately, it was easy enough to figure out the pattern from the instructions, but if you are a true novice, you might wait a little while before trying this one out.
