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.
Sizes: 00 to 18 (B-cup) and 12 to 30 (D-cup)

Notions:

Fabric Suggestions:
Mid-weight, stable knit fabrics with lots of stretch and recovery. Cotton/spandex fabric is ideal. The fabric should have at least 50% four-way stretch. Fabrics weighing 9 to 12 ounces per square yard are recommended. Lightweight knit fabrics are not recommended for this design.
