Halter Keyhole Wrap Tank Top

When To Wear

In hot weather with shorts, skirts or wide trousers.
On holiday or at the beach over swimwear.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted, hip length.

Neckline: Bound with knit tape that continues over the shoulders as narrow straps; the strap length is adjusted at fitting. At the front the binding ends are threaded through the fastener and secured on the wrong side.

Front: Two wrap fronts with bust darts. The wrap edge and the armholes are bound with tape that extends into ties 80–90 cm long. One tie passes through an opening left in the right side seam, topstitched around its edge, and the ties are knotted at the side.

Back: One piece with a straight upper edge; the straps are formed by the same binding.

Finishing: Bound edges have no seam allowance. The hem and the vertical front edge are turned to the wrong side and topstitched, with a twin needle to keep the stretch.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Long continuous binding that becomes ties and straps, a finished tie opening in the side seam, and fitting the strap length.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with medium to high stretch, from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Knit binding tape (or bias binding) for the armholes, wrap edge, ties, neckline and straps
Narrow decorative fastener for the centre front

Cutting Plan

Back – 1 piece
Front – 2 pieces

Tip: Pattern pieces made from knit fabrics should be stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.

Sewing Instructions

Stitch the bust dart on the front piece. Trim the dart depth, serge, and press.
Stitch the side seams of the back and front pieces. Serge the seams and press towards the back. Leave an opening for the tie in the right side seam. Topstitch along the opening in the side seam.
Serge the bottom edge of the garment and the front vertical edge of the front piece. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
Bind the armhole edge and the wrap edge, forming ties 80-90cm long.
Bind the neckline edge of the back and front pieces, forming a strap. Adjust the strap length during a preliminary fitting. Start and end the binding at the front neckline, leaving 5cm ends. Thread the ends of the binding tape through the fastener and secure them to the front piece on the wrong side.
