Strapless Bodice Pattern

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.
