Nova, the ruffle bikini top (French only)

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

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.
