Nothing acrobatic about this trapeze top – simple, elegant, and above all, fit to perfection.

Slim at the bust and extra wide at the hem, this little number has an undeniably beautiful construction. A classy keyhole opening allows for a comfortably close-fit crew neck, and princess seams offer some elongating vertical action to this confident beginner-level design.

• Level: Confident Beginner
• Pattern sizes: (0 to18) or (14 to 30)
• Seam allowances included

Recommended fabrics: light to mid-weight wovens. Choose a fabric with more drape for a more fluid garment and choose a fabric with more structure for a more architectural design. A stabler fabric will be more beginner friendly.

The construction consists of a single layer of fabric on the front and back body with French seams and a double layer of fabric at the hem to add some extra weight as well as clean finishes. Construction details include French and flat-felled seams, exposed bindings on curves, and keyhole opening. The Float On Top fits closely from the neckline to the chest and then flares out for a dreamy, flowy swoosh.

Paper pattern contains an illustrated instruction booklet and a full size pattern.
