My sweetheart strapless bodice pattern to make at home.
This pattern comes as a PDF download or physical paper copy sent to your address. A kit version is also available with calico fabric. Shipping included in price.
This is a great foundation pattern that forms the base to many dresses and structured tops. Wonderful for draping onto.
The pattern prints easily on 4 pages with one pattern piece per page so there's no sticking bits together.
Works really well in woven non stretch fabrics like cottons and satins. Simply add a gathered skirt and you have a dress!
The sweetheart bodice is a classic fitted design with a strapless cut. Boning can be added to the seams for more structure.
The pattern features princess cut panels, a full lining, bound edges and a open ended zip fastening at the back. We provide you with all the instructions to make your top to your size.
Number of pieces to print:
4 pieces over 4 pages, no sticking together pages.
