A740 Blouse 159 — halter top with front knot and open back
Halter top pattern with a front knot and open back, in a lightweight woven fabric with a loose drape, for urban summer lines.
The top has wide straps that cross at the back, leaving the back bare, a neckline with a decorative knot at the front and a loose body without closures or pockets. The length reaches the waist and the drape is fluid, with no visible elastic.
With its soft drape, it works best in crepe, viscose or challis, lightweight fabrics that follow the draping of the knot without clinging. It sells well in urban and going-out summer lines, and pairs with dress pants or jeans to build sets; cut the knot pieces on the bias for a better fall.
It comes in 8 sizes (XS to 4XL) with the industrial grading already done: pick the sizes you need on the product page, or buy the full size range in one go. Delivered as an A4 PDF to print at home and a true-scale plotter PDF (90, 120 or 150 cm wide); DXF/AAMA, Optitex (PDS), marker (MRK) or Audaces (ADS) files for cutting directly in CAD are available on request. Digital download within 24 hours of payment confirmation.
Professional sewing pattern for women, approved with a sewn sample, with the full industrial size range available. Sizes are chosen on the product page (the base price covers the standard size selection and each extra size adds a small surcharge); the CAD formats include the full size range.
