I'm always on the lookout for ideas for cool summer tops. This will be my first summer at this location in 30+ years and I remember it getting very hot by August. Here's the latest find:
It has a tank top vibe with a little asymmetry going on. The asymmetry is what drew me to it. This is the Nic & Zoe Promenade Top and it can be found on their website. The price is $118.00. The fabric is satin.
This would be fairly easy to reproduce using an already fitted tank top. First you would need to decide on the length and then draw the pattern.You will need two separate fronts and two separate backs. Most likely, make the side seam of the outer front and outer back 1/3 shorter. Clear as mud? You could also use this pattern:
This pattern gives you the asymmetry on the front but the neckline is different. Actually, I prefer a v-neck. This pattern is also in my pattern stash. You can find the Indgyo Junction under Asymmetrical Top & Tunic pattern (affiliate link). As far as fabric, I don't think I would use a satin but I would definitely use a cotton or a blend of some sort. I just need to dig through my stash and see what's available.
Hope your inspired to create something beautiful!
Happy Stitching!
