Buy the Viola Top sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. The crop top is back and more sophisticated than ever. Viola is a nod to the bralette trend but with a gathered flounce at the bottom. It has a nicely fitted bodice, buttons at the back, and is loose and easy at the waist. Is cropped not your thing? Just alter the length of the top and flounce. Viola is the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe - it pairs so stylishly with high-waisted trousers (Babette) and skirts (Ezra), and also looks a treat with a pair of jeans (Ebony).
