1. Start by cutting a triangle shape like shown in the picture, and measure it on your body to decide the height of the top. This will be the front side of the top. Cut off the points so that it will be easier to sew the front and the back.

3.  Next put the two parts together , with the right sides facing each other and pin the sides like show in the picture. If you have extra lace on the back it’s ok, keep it, because this lace isn’t elastic thus we need plenty of space to wear it and get both of our shoulders in it. Very carefully reverse the top and wear it to see if everything looks good. Make any adjustment on size if needed.

4. You can either machine sew or hand sew the pinned area, in the first case use a medium tight stitch and if your sewing machine permits choice, opt for a slightly zig-zag stitch.

5. Finally, bend inwards the front top edge towards the throat so that it becomes a perfect loop for the thread. Sew it and make the thread go through.
