This top is made in 2 pieces, but can be made in 1 if you don’t mind the lace facing differently. There is some minimal seaming, but it’s just side seams, and some grafting if you want the lace facing the same way. This top offers a lot in the way of customization, so instead of line-by-line instruction, this is more of a guide to help you make a top that fits you.

To make the top in two pieces, you will make two nearly identical pieces and seam at the sides and top. To make this top in one piece, you start at the bottom on the front, work up over the bodice, make the shoulder straps, and then work back down the back. To finish, you only have to seam the two sides, as the straps are now seamless.
