Description
Halter Peplum Top
Evie is a halter top cut for warm weather, with a plunging neckline and a fitted bodice that flares gently into a peplum at the hip.
The neckline dips low at the front, and thin straps cross behind the neck and tie there, so you set the fit yourself. A gathered elastic seam sits just beneath the bust, and below it the fabric falls loose and full to the hip, giving you room to move without any structure holding it in place. The back stays open the whole way down, leaving your shoulders and spine free.
Cotton, linen, viscose, and polyester all suit it, each falling soft against the skin with enough drape to let the peplum swing freely.

How to print it
Open the file in Adobe Reader
Use the A4 or US Letter file. Adobe Reader is free, and it is the only reader that handles the size layers correctly.
Switch off the sizes you don't need
Open the layers panel on the left and leave only your size visible. You will use far less paper and ink, and the pieces are easier to cut.
Set scaling to 100%
Choose Actual Size, and make sure Fit to Page or Shrink to Fit is switched off. This is what keeps the pattern true to size.
Print page one and measure the test square
If the square measures correctly, your settings are right. If not, check the scaling and print page one again before going further.
Print the remaining pages and assemble
Line up the registration marks, tape the sheets together, and follow the assembly diagram that came with your files.
Prefer a copy shop? Use the A0 file
Hand over the A0 file and ask for 100% scale with no tiling. One sheet, no taping, nothing to assemble.
