Choose a Size

The Nina Halter Top features an open back with tie up neck. The front is lined with a halter neckline, deep side cut, bust darts. The top has a relaxed silhouette and is cropped to the waist.

Sewing Level
This is project is suitable for intermediate sewing skills. Techniques include sewing darts, curved seams, understitching and inserting a lining. The most difficult part of the project is bagging out the neck tie to the neckline and bias binding the edges on the back pieces. 

Fit Notes
This pattern is a relaxed fit - it's recommended to choose the size closest to your measurements. If between sizes, size down.
