Our Juliette’s Dream lingerie top is inspired by the sassy and sweet vintage lingerie of the mid-1900s. This pattern has two views. View A has a lined bodice and two-layered circle skirt. View B includes an unlined bodice with a double tied front as well as an open front full circle skirt with crossed double ribbon straps in the back. Both views have an empire waist with three cup sizes for each view, an above-knee skirt that drapes beautifully to a slightly lower length in the center front and back.
