Tulip Top - Fortiv - PDF Download
The Tulip Top by Fortiv features a curved square neckline, shaped seams along the bust, lace up sides, and a petal like hem. The original inspiration for the Tulip top came from my own desire to make a corset-inspired top that had structure and lacing but prioritized comfort at the waistline. The style is fitted in the bust but has ease at the waist, made even more so by the Tulip-like hem. The lace up sides allow for easy adjustment for both comfort and fluctuating sizing. This feature also makes the Tulip top great for layering!
The Tulip top is offered with two fit versions based on bust size.
It is made with a clever construction to fully clean finish the inside, topstitching included! Only a straight stitch machine is needed, no serger.
