Strata Top Kit

For this kit we’ve chosen three fabrics on two different base cloths.

The first is a double gauze which has a rainbow of embroidered stripe threads running through it. Double gauze is made of two fine layers of fabric invisibly stitched together. This fabric is super soft and feels lovely next to the skin. It is available in navy and white and is 100% cotton.

The second base is a unique deadstock fabric, which has a subtle flower design and open weave stripes woven into it. This fabric is a blend of 60% cotton and 40% viscose, which means the fabric is breathable with a great drape. It is available in sky blue.

To see the fabrics close up check out the video in the main gallery above by swiping left.

This pattern is available in sizes US 0-30: bust 31-54.5” and waist 25-48.5”.

You will receive the printed pattern for ALL above sizes, but please select your kit size option based on your body measurements, as this will include the correct amount of fabric.

There are two size options for this kit:

Up to size US 18: bust 31-42.5” and waist 25-36.5".

Up to size US 30: bust 31-54.5” and waist 25-48.5”.

The full size charts, including finished measurements, can be viewed in the gallery above.
