Hallie Bow-Back Top
Who doesn’t love a top that features a surprise on the back? From the front, the Hallie Top looks like a traditional summer tee, but turn it around and you’ll discover an open back with a contrasting inset bow. Featuring a picot-edged turned hem and top-down, set-in sleeves, it’s the perfect little top for any summer occasion.
This top begins at the bottom with a folded hem. If you prefer, ribbing can be substituted. The waist shaping happens along the princess lines in the front. The back has a deep scoop, and the front neckline is a shallow scoop. Set-in sleeves are worked from the top down, seamlessly, using short rows. The bow is worked separately and sewn in.
