The balloon trend is going strong, and Nanaka fits right in.
This summery top, with its balloon hem, gathered neckline, and
adjustable straps calls to mind soft clouds, the kind the sun always
shines through. Bonus points for the jersey lining, which keeps your
new summer favourite comfortably in place and lets you go braless,
if you wish.

Fabric Recommendations:
For the most beautiful balloon shape, choose a structured fabric such as stonewashed or paper/nylon-touch poplin, cotton satin, linen, nylon, or taffeta. Avoid thin, stretchy fabrics that are overly drapey, as they lack the right structure. If you want a subtle look, go for a supple fabric such as crepe (viscose, polyester, silk) or viscose satin, or chambray.

NANAKA - pattern measurements
This chart’s measurements are the pattern measurements based on the fabric type and serve as a reference. Ease has been added to the width measurements (in addition to the exact body measurements) for a more comfortable fit. Nanaka is designed to have a loose cut.
Compare the stated lengths to the measured or desired lengths. Lengthen or shorten the top by cutting the pattern pieces at the indicated double lines. Then either increase the distance between the cut pieces by the desired amount (to lengthen) or overlap the pieces (to shorten). Make sure that the CF and CB lines and the side seams are always straight
* To ensure that the top fits closely, the circumference of the top in trim fabric is smaller than the bust circumference in the size chart
