Skill Level: Confident Beginner
This little versatile wrap top can be perfect as a cover-up at the gym or a beautiful date night top to wear with a flowy maxi skirt. However you style it, you are sure to be in style with this flattering top. It comes with three sleeve length options and instructions for a dart or no dart option too!
A classic wrap top with a fun unexpected thumb cuff option!
I really like this top and the way it fits. I made the 3X, I have a 41 " high bust and 45" bust and 38" waist. 14" shoulders. I made a toile out of a single knit dress. printed on one side and not the other. So after it was made I did not like how the white just hemmed side of the straps looked. (I ended up making a lining for it, it's okay but not great) I wondered if it should have been doubled? I also added a slit on the right side seam for the strap to pass through.I just couldn't get the straps to lay without bunching up. I am making another one out a cotton jersey knit and I have made double of the straps and added a 1/2 inch to the bottom of the top. So I will see how that looks and fits. I can add photos later when the second one is finished.
I appreciate that they have directions for a smaller cup size. I was able to alter the pattern pieces following it, and it turned out perfect! It was a surprisingly quick sew, also.
I love this pattern. Very clear and easy to follow. The fit was good too!
I recently made the top, and it is wonderful! I did change the sleeve patter since it is not uncommon for me to have bicep issues with sleeve and since the pattern gave a narrow sleeve warning I was prepared before I cut out the fabric. The directions were easy to follow and the only annoying part was stichimg the bottom of the top, but there is nothing they can do about that, I just hate stiching very long straight lines🤣.
The Clara has had my heart from the moment it launched. I love a good wrap top and this does not disappoint! I have made several and while some make it to yoga, many of them are for casual everyday wear - it hits all the right points and is super flattering. It is a go-to choice in my closet.
The Clara Wrap isn't just for slender people. It's also the perfect addition to my maternity wardrobe! We're transitioning into winter here and it has been a well used pattern for me. Made from double brushed poly, and in the 3/4 sleeve length, it keeps the chill off without bulky layers.
This wrap will take you from your workout through daytime into nighttime in style. A quick sew and fun to wear in so many combos of fabric.
I was very nervous to sew up this pattern and was worried how it would work for me. I usually avoid cross front tops because of my small chest... but I LOVE this top! I love wearing it over a tank or as a stand alone crop with workout pants or pencil skirts. I'm so glad I tried this pattern. Another great design from Greenstyle!
I wasn't quite sure how I would like this top on me (though I loved the look of it on everyone else). After sewing my first one, I had to sew another. I love them! I made one in white stretch lace and have worn it a lot! It dresses up a tank quick as a wink.
I love this wrap top, and it's such a fun addition to my wardrobe. It can be made in such a wide variety of fabrics for lots of different looks and uses, and the fit is spot on! Greenstyle patterns are so easy to use, and make gorgeous finished garments. LOVE it.
Love GreenStyleCreations patterns!
This is a great addition to my wardrobe (all seasons!)
