Made for Mermaids Sewing Patterns are digital downloads. You will print OR project them at home, OR send them to a copy shop to print. This is not a physical garment or pattern and nothing will be mailed to you.

Auren is a woven drop-shoulder top that hits at the waist. The front bodice is a deep v that is open at the center and does not overlap, allowing the fit and coverage to be adjusted with the waistband ties. The neckline and sleeveless option are finished with a hem, while the bottom hemline finished with the waistband. Choose short or long waistband ties. Both can be worn snug, tied tight under the bust for a fitted look or tied looser at the waist for a relaxed fit. The long ties can be wrapped around and tied at the back, creating a crossover effect in the front. Sleeve options include sleeveless, flutter, 3/4 with elastic, long with elastic, or long bell. Perfect for layering over a bralette, bodysuit, dress, or swimsuit—and equally perfect for date night or vacations.

Suggested Fabrics:

• •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit.
• •Woven apparel fabrics with drape. You may use fabrics with less drape such as 100% cotton and it will give a more vintage stiff feel.
  • •Rayon challis, voile, lawn, batiste, silk crepe, rayon crepe, chiffon, chambray, linen, etc. Fabrics such as quilting cotton will work as well but will feel stiff and give a boxy look.
