This was made form a piece of material I found at a thrift store. It was a rectangle of sheer fabric with the embroidered trim along one side.
Using the Retro Top pattern by Zahra, I eliminated the band at the neckline and attached the trim at the bottom.
also lkearned how to do French seams just for this project.
Unsure of the exact material, but a sheer fabric like chiffon or organza.

I like this! When you say “eliminated the band”, do you mean you just left it off, or you adjusted the pattern to do without it? Did you do any other mods?

Instead of attaching the band at the neckline, I did a simple hem to finish the edge.
