Another Lydia top, made in some thin flowery/dotted fabric bought on sale. :-) After having seen the helpful “Making Shirr Gathers”-how to, I got very inspired, and made some gathers on each side under the bust as well as in the lower back. This gave the top a bit of a “blouse-like” look.
Thin/light fabric, normal and elastic thread

That’s creative to have those shirrs instead of darts! This way you can pull on a not -stretchy shirt as though it were one. And they’re not too conspicuous either because of the pattern on the fabric, which is great by the way!
