The Lelya Top is a delicate, feminine top with a beautiful lacy texture and a flattering made-to-measure fit which means there are no fixed sizes to choose from so you’ll use your own measurements to create the perfect fit.

The construction is surprisingly simple: the top panels are worked as two rectangles and joined together, then the body is added and worked seamlessly in the round.

With its delicate lace, flattering shape and customizable fit, this top is a beautiful addition to your handmade wardrobe and perfect for dressing up or wearing casually with your favorite jeans.
