Hello! It’s Sara here with another tutorial. Today’s tutorial is for the very popular Pinnacle Top by Papercut Patterns. It’s so fantastic that with one pattern you can make three variations of this top. I made Variation 1 and it’s the easiest of the three to make! I love the details of this top that make it so classy, such as no shoulder seams and a deep vee neck. Also, the lower triangle creates a nice drape on the front bodice, which I really love. If you’re in between sizes, I recommend you size down as it is an oversized fit. According to their measurements, I’m between a size 2 and 3. I made a size 3 and it’s a bit too oversized, but I still love it!
My measurements are 33” 28” 36″ and 5’4″ tall.
I made a size 3 with no modifications and it’s a little too oversized so I recommend you size down if your measurement is between sizes.
I made a ring scarf out of the remnant fabric and it goes really well with deep V neck of this top! Here’s a link for How to make a Ring Scarf just in case you would want to try! https://youtu.be/D-JlRkMTLOw
