Suitability

This pattern is suited for nursing.

Description

The Tropo Camisole is named for the troposphere – the bottom layer of the earth’s atmosphere – since the camisole is great on its own but also perfectly suited for layering. This fitted camisole has an optional interior shelf bralette that can be sewn out of fashion fabric, power mesh, or fashion fabric and power mesh together for lightweight bust support. The Tropo Camisole also has pattern pieces and instructions so that all views can be sewn as a nursing camisole.

The Tropo Camisole comes in 3 cup size options: A-B, C-D and E-F. C-D and E-F are darted to accomodate a larger bust while mainting a sleek shape. View A is straight across the front, View B has a gentle scoop, View C has a sweetheart shape, and View D spices up the sweetheart with a sexy V strap. All views are useable for Front or Back for 16 different possible neckline combinations!

Wear the Tropo Camisole on its own during the summer or layer it in the winter for true Every Day Dress Up.
