90s Inspired / Drawstring Halter Crop Top
Fabric (I used neoprene)
elastic
2 stoppers
Remember that almost all clothing made around the millennium seemed to have drawstrings incorporated somewhere? On the cuff of sleeves, on the bottom of trousers, around the waist, around the neck, even just randomly and functionless accross the back. Haven’t seen them around in a while and kind of miss the wrongness about them, so I made this scuba drawstring top.
/01 Cut a triangle that will fit around your torso.
/02 Make a hem of a little more than a cm in width on the top and bottom of the triangle.
/03 Make two darts on the side to give the top more shape. If you don’t want to make darts, use a stretchier fabric so it won’t be necessary.
/04 Make a small hem on both of the sides of the top.
/05 Put a piece of elastic through the top hem. It will take a bit of picking, but with some tweezers you’ll get it through eventually. Tie a knot in it and slide the knot inside the hem to make it invisible.
/06 The bottom elastic doesn’t go through the hem, because it has to pull the two corners together, so sew the ends of the elastic to the corners.
/07 Add both of the stoppers to the elastics and it’s ready to be worn!

This is gorgeous! And so easy to make. I love how you’ve incorporated drawstrings into it too – you have a knack for making the most ordinary things completely desirable!

Such a simple, unique DIY 🙂
So much nostalgia is hitting me right now. Seeing that drawstring definitely takes me back to the years of drawstring jackets, drawstring pants, and drawstring everything in between!
This top is too cute! I love that you updated the drawstring and made it more interesting by pairing it with neoprene. A top like this would be so cool, I would just be worried about showing all that back 🙂
