Crafted with precision and an eye for style, this Darted Triangle Top sewing pattern blends classic shaping with a modern skimpy fit—perfect for enhancing your bust line without flattening it. Designed especially for smaller bust figures, this triangle top uses darts for structure and lift while keeping minimal coverage styling for rave, swim, cosplay, and costume looks.
This is a go-to design when you want shape, not squeeze. The dart construction creates a natural contour so the top fits clean instead of collapsing flat. Inclusive sizing from XS–L ensures a customizable skimpy fit across sizes, with adjustable stretch strings for flexible wear.

🧵 Assembly (Shortened Instructions):
Sew the dart on each triangle piece from fold to bottom edge using a serger. Finish the lower edge if desired for a clean look. Hem both angled sides of each triangle, folding ½” and securing with a stretch stitch while tucking the tips clean for strap attachment. Create stretch strings by folding and stitching long strips, then cut one in half for neck ties. Attach neck straps to the top points of each triangle using a straight stitch. Fold and stitch the bottom edge to create a casing for the underbust string. Thread the string through both triangle casings and secure ends. Full step-by-step instructions are included in the PDF.
