Belle Épine is a charming boho-style top with a decidedly summery feel. Delicate and ultra-feminine, it stands out with its radiating bust darts, a V-neckline at the front and back (cut to allow for bra wear), elegant tie straps, and a shaped, gathered ruffle. The pattern is fully lined, with the inner layer featuring classic bust darts for structure.

A non-lined version is also possible, thanks to facing pieces for the neckline... A perfect companion for hot summer days, the pattern offers multiple variations: with or without a ruffle, with or without lining, allowing you to create your ideal version. This sewing pattern is easy to make, with beautiful finishes - in short, simply irresistible!

Suggested Fabrics: Light weight fabrics (80 to 200 g/m2) with more or less hold depending on the desired effect on the ruffles. Your fabric must mark well with the iron and not deform too much: viscose, tencel, cotton, crepe, poplin, satin, or twill. Openwork fabrics such as lace are also interesting because the pattern provides for a lining.
