Digital Sewing Pattern (Sizes 0-18, B-cup and sizes 12-30, D-cup)

The Elio Top is a fitted knit top with a faux wrap silhouette. The neckline is finished with narrow elastic that allows the bodices to lay flush against the body. The hem is finished with optional fold over elastic so that it creates a smooth fit under high-waisted pants and skirts. Three sleeve lengths (cap, elbow, and long) make this design ideal for year-round wear.

FITTING THE ELIO TOP

ALEXIS'S ELIO TOP

I made the Elio top with long sleeves in a size 4 with no modifications. It fits perfectly and was easy with great sewing instructions. The crossover top was not too deep or revealing.

I made this top back in 2022. I chose a size 6 in the bust and graded to a size 12 at the hips. There are excellent instructions in the blog post on how to grade. The pattern instructions are also meticulous. While I enjoyed making this top, I found the waist to be pulling in the sides which makes it a bit uncomfortable to wear. I used a cotton spandex with the required stretch. I definitely want to try making another one, with a few more adjustments - perhaps add more width at the waist and hips and add extra coverage, the instructions for which are on the blog.

I participated in the sewalong for this pattern and loved it so much, I made three -- including one where I specifically ice-dyed my own fabric to use! I love the versatility of this top and the construction of it makes me feel so confident when I am wearing it!

I love this classic layering piece! Highly recommended!

Haven’t made it yet, but looks very the style!

Great pattern
