Nova, the bikini set (French only)

PDF sewing pattern in A4, to print at home with a conventional printer.

The bottom : Nova is a swimsuit bottom, available in 8 variations to suit all tastes and all body types. Whichever version you choose, the front is fully lined for greater comfort and safety; the back can also be lined if desired. Seaming seams are completely hidden in the seams so your jersey looks as good inside out as it does on the front - and it's more comfortable too. Waist and leg openings are lined with hidden elastic in the seams.

• Version A is a high waist panty
• The A2 version is also high waisted, with a gathered front for a retro look.
• Version B is a normal-waisted, basic panty: it goes perfectly with any type of top.
• The B2 version is a regular-waisted panty gathered at the front, which gives it a retro touch while remaining modern.  
• You can also choose to replace the waist elastic with a cut-to-size belt in the same fabric as your jersey - or in a contrasting fabric for a little fun. The belt is crossed in a light V in front: it is the comfortable option par excellence!  
  

The top : Nova is a swimsuit top designed to combine comfort, support and style to enjoy your vacation without the fuss. It is available in two versions: With a wide ruffle from the neckline to the shoulders, or without. Whichever version you choose, the front is gathered with a contrasting lycra ring; the sides are gathered and reinforced with a plastic stay to provide even more support. The straps are reinforced with elastics so as not to deform with heat, water, salt... They are tied in the back, because it's prettier, and also because it allows you to alternate between classic straps, crossover, open back... In all versions, the Nova top is fully lined and the finishes designed to be as professional as possible. All with a simple sewing machine! Indeed, you don't need a serger to sew the Nova top, you can make it entirely with a sewing machine. Of course, if you own a serger, nothing prevents you from using it. Seams that can be overlocked are shown in the instructions. For those who wish, you can also make removable foam shells, to slip into your swimsuit.
