Top 159 — top with thin adjustable straps
Fitted straight-neckline top pattern with thin adjustable straps and a small side snap closure, for summer basics lines.
Top with a straight neckline, thin adjustable shoulder straps and a small snap on the side strap; the body is fitted to the torso, with no visible seams at the front.
It is best made in a knit with a good percentage of spandex, such as jersey with spandex or rib knit, so it holds the straight neckline without needing an inner bra. It is a high-rotation summer basic that pairs with high-rise pants or skirts; reinforce the join between the strap and the snap so it does not give way with wear.
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.
