Very comfortable topReviewed by Terri (✓ Verified Buyer) on 01/06/2023I used this top pattern to make a top for a pajama set. The shelf bra is a nice addition for modesty and comfort. The fit is great and I plan to make more of these tops as well as the dress version.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Love the enmore dress/top!Reviewed by Janet Oglethorpe (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/03/2022I adore this pattern. So far I’ve made four dresses and a two tops, and they are well loved by me and two recipients as gifts. The instructions are crystal clear and the garments come together quickly. The shelf bra is genius, especially given the heat wave we are experiencing. I’ve used linen, cotton sheeting, a rayon/linen chambray (cut on the bias), and double gauze, all with great results.3 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?In this video, Liesl introduces you to the Enmore Halter Dress + Top pattern.
