Puff and Pencil Halter Top & Copenhagen Skirt

Buy the Halter Top & Copenhagen Skirt sewing pattern bundle from Puff and Pencil.

The close-fitting top has a low-cut halter neckline with scarves that hang down at the front and back. Darts and seams provide shaping, and the top is fully lined. The bottom part of the top is cut on the bias so it drapes nicely around the body. The top closes with buttons and loops at the back, and with a hook and eye at the back of the neck. The Halter Top pattern is also available separately here.

The mini skirt has an asymmetric front wrap and a low waist with a wide waistband. It closes with two ties on the outer layer and a snap button on the inner layer. You can wear the skirt on its own or style it over pants for that cool Copenhagen look. The Copenhagen Skirt pattern is also available separately here.
