DIY Backless Halter Top! EASY Sewing

[@tashalala]

Hi everyone! I DID NOT add darts to this top. I simply folded it that way to fit the dress form. If you don't want to add darts use a knit fabric. If you use a non stretch like I did then try it on & pinch/pin areas that don't fit around the bust & simply sew them down. Thanks for watching! :)

[@suryaks2396]

[@demonchildmina]

Idk man but nothing has ever mad me more proud than turning a long strap inside out and it looks good like no lie.

[@Cleanergirl21]

The top is so gorgeous and the tutorial was well explained! I love it! Wish I could make something like this and then actually have the confidence to wear it!

[@tiffanyklor]

[@raindroplollipop]

[@Starlights2504]

American apparel sells this top for like $45. I'm so happy I found your video because I really wanted one :)

[@MiroticFusion]

wait, how did you work out how much extra fabric you were going to need to compensate for the lack of stretchyness in the new fabric?

[@annyeongnaya808]

Backless tops are so hype in my place right now 😂 i’m so happy i found this tutorial thank youuu 🧡

[@amandaosgood]

Really nice top. Think I could do with 6 loops & I'll curve the side edges so they are shorter round the back. First time I've ever understood how to turn straps. Thank you 😁

[@MsTikiB]

I know this is an old video but I just came across it the other day. I made the reversible version of this top today and it turned out great. I'm fairly new to sewing but the tutorial was easy to follow. Thanks!

[@sandravermolen1470]

Wow, just read this and when i saw that you commented this 3 years ago i was a little bit shocked haha

[@noelthompson8932]

Aligha Placensia thank u!

[@isabelle0656]

Hi! Love this video and I want to make one for myself, what can I use as a template if I don’t already own a halter top? :)

[@erikab157]

You can use a tank top, and if you dont have one you can use a tshirt, just trace without the arms. Hope that helps!

[@alexandra-de3rk]

i diiiiiiit it i am so proud

[@tiffanyelviraortiz3667]

you never showed how you adjusted the bust

[@Yeahitsmaxy]

I love this top so much! I'm going to try it now :) thank you for making an easy to understand video

[@mrstiffanyalexandrashain4489]

uhgggg Tashalala I think I love you I'm getting ready to attempt this right now for a special new years top thank you so much 💙💜💚💜💙❤

[@livbirkhead4482]

could you please do a tutorial on how to do the dart in this top because i made the top and it didn't fit well because of the dar and the folded over part.... thanks x

[@ramonacharles4047]

i hate when u guys do a video and already have a halter top to trace out what about the people that want to make one that dont have a halter top to trace out

[@tashalala]

You can use any shirt or just use your measurements to make a pattern; you don't need a tank top. I showed how to make a pattern from measurements in my recent backless tank video. Also there's a lot of pattern videos on KZbin. Hope that helps you.

[@AbaitheyBeauty]

hey sweetie! id like to know if you measured yourself to figure out the space you need to leave in order for the fabric to cover your bust? at 0:55 thanks in advance!

[@yasminescott8899]

Awesome Work!!! Could you tell me what kind of sewing machine you use to produce the quality of your work????????

[@karollmoyano8756]

tashalala if I wanted to make this as a swimsuit, do you know which type of material I would have to use... Thxxxx It would also really help if you could show a tutorial on how to Do that... With the foam and stuff for the bathing suit

[@danniigurl111]

This is really really cute!

[@tashalala]

danniigurl111 thanks dani :)

[@ashleyhernandez2583]

[@mahalamoss5708]

Such a great tutorial! I love the outcome of the halter, hopefully mine can turn out the same :) would you be able to do a tutorial on one of those peasant tops?! Thankyou

[@tashalala]

Mahala Moss thank u! Hmmm maybe one day :)

[@mariuxiyepezh]

[@missivivi7848]

[@Pinksugarpie]

This is soo cool. Definitely trying it.

[@hannah-le9bq]

[@tashalala]

Tatum Genest thanks so much Tatum! (I love that name btw)

[@karissa1809]

Amazing AND simple! Thank you 😘xx

[@kitt3nkisses]

Can you explain how you closed it and how you did the darts?

[@haleymadison3840]

I love the sequin mannequin. Where did you get it?

[@BusyGirlVon]

Nice tutorial. Did you just iron and adjust to get that dart-like look in the front of the bodice on your end result? Thanks!

[@tashalala]

xoxo Shavon I honestly just try it on, pinch, pin & sew whenever I need "darts". I didn't add it in the video because I don't do it the proper way (as w/ most things I do lol)

[@BusyGirlVon]

tashalala perfect, thanks.

[@vanusaggar]

Hi could you please please please do one of these with those lace appliqué tops similar to the ones from lilipearl

[@Dee8761]

This is a great video but how did you make the bust line darts?

[@tashalala]

Dee8761 Honestly I just try things on when I'm done (inside out) pinch it in wherever it doesn't fit and sew that area. I keep it really simple.

[@suzieroberts3732]

Amazing tutorial thanks so much for uploading :) Going to try this out right now

[@tashalala]

Suzie Roberts yay! I hope it comes out great Suzie!

[@kayalli]

ommggee this is so cute, i really wanna make this but i dont have a sewing machine :(

[@gabrianna58]

k. i love ur idea ... i love your hair is it crochet or that just your hair

[@tashalala]

sew in

[@Jade-ze4kt]

How on earth did you do those straps? I can't figure out how to get the paper clip all the way down the strap because there's no where for the fabric to go once it's reached the end of the paper clip?

[@franciscaesc]

I made it!! Love it!! Thank you!!

[@LifeofKayHerbert]

Where did you buy the mannequin?

[@AmyWantsAFairytale]

this is a really well done video!

[@tashalala]

AmyWantsAFairytale aw thanks Amy

[@erionlewis8006]

Could this pattern work for the back of a dress?

[@chloeb9273]

You just gained a new follower I love you so much 😄😄

[@itskellykels250]

Hi! How did you close it once turn outside in??

[@ItsElyBean]

Wow that looks so nice!!! Love your video:)

[@tashalala]

Mercedes medina thanks so much!

[@XxJacqueline07]

You should mention how you got that dart on the side of the top. By the looks of it you have just folded it up but without that dart it would turn out very different and wouldn't fit like how it looks on the end result you have.

[@tashalala]

jacqui atkins yes, as I said to someone else, it was just folded & pinned that way on the dress form because it is a different size than I am. I did not need a dart to wear it myself.

[@withlovestephaniedenise7024]

Thanks and loving the hair

[@tatianasantos6349]

1st LOVE IT!!! My niece wants a top like this so im sure i will make one for us both! 2nd Are you a lefty?? Cause I am and I put my pins just like you, with the head up and it drives my teacher crazy 😂😂

[@coolesshirl]

[@Cachulaterr]

This is exactly what I want the back of my maxi dress to look like. I bought a racer back maxi dress and it came with a matching rope braid to tie around my waist but I want to make the whole dress tighter and change the back to this back you have here!! Please do like an DIY up cycle maxi dress! I can't imagine how much it will cost to get someone to change it for me. Please help! P.S NEW SUB!

[@tashalala]

Chelsea McCoy hi, thanks for watching! Maybe I can do it on day if I found a reasonable maxi dress to work with :)

[@jordanh.5182]

How many yards of fabric do I need to buy for this project?

[@kristyoconnor1894]

So pretty!

[@anonimosempre4255]

Nossa q lindo parabens... Eu amei!.... 😄😄😄😄😄👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

[@ritakitti]

Amazing! Well done & Thanks for sharing! You did such a great job there! Wow! :-)

[@naturallydivine2010]

Is there any way you can make this if you don't have any way of getting a halter top to make the pattern?

[@tashalala]

+Selena S You can measure yourself and draw your own pattern :)

[@sophiar.6848]

where did you buy your dress form ?

[@carmenmejia6860]

How do you do your measurements if you don't have a crop to go off of?

[@JustLIkerapunzel]

+Carmen mejia I guess anything would work to somehow guess the meassurements like a bra - be bit creative ;)

[@TheCityDweller1]

Soooo... you added darts to the final product but didn't include that step in the tutorial? That seems kind of important. 😕

[@gaylilshit9293]

The City Dweller I was about to comment that but I was checking to see if anyone else did or not. But ya where is that step that is an important step that u need if u want the same out come as the after shot

[@jesikaoreilly3594]

They aren't sewn-in darts, the side edge is just folded up in the middle for a better fit.

[@brittanytillman1275]

she did not add darts to the finished product. she just folding the garment on the edges to fit the mannequinn better for display pruposes. She should have added darts because she used a non stretch fabric, which is why the fit is off..

[@CamaniArshante]

@@brittanytillman1275 the dress form is smaller than her?

[@trudymatt7335]

I know right 😭

[@blay_l]

Wow, quedé encantada!!

[@lisasimek37]

please make a sewing pattern link

[@mimi98016]

What sewing machine are you using?

[@rohanisharma5937]

Wowww its so nice

[@reecemccallum9382]

Where did you get your mannequin from? I NEED IT.

[@Marshalbrucemathers9]

What is that song in the beginning

[@aleksandrab.5848]

Hey ! I made that top but my problem is that my fabric does not sit well on the sides!?? any help?

[@tashalala]

Aleksandra Bubakur you can add darts in it. Basically just taking in the parts that don't fit.

[@gabrianna58]

it looks nice

[@Aiviloarts]

Cute!! I would so wear that

[@tashalala]

Olivia Amanda id make u one but im such an ameture lol

[@Aiviloarts]

Ameture?? pshh lol

[@btemou]

love it!!

[@stefaniwilson2129]

I know this is an old video. Still, I have some comments for future viewers, and tashalala... Yes, the darts in the photo are misleading. It would have been nice to simply show the top as it looked without the darts, because that is the finished product of the video. The darts make it a different garment. It's not reversible after you "try it on & pinch/pin areas that don't fit around the bust & simply sew them down." Also, it is important to press seams after sewing, and after turning right side out, for the flat crisp finished look. This important step should be included in the video!

[@ShaniaShania]

Hey Stefani! Thank you for reminding us of the importance of pressing the seams after sewing. I often forget this step when I'm making clothes. Thanks a ton! xoxo, Shania

[@erinalexis6380]

Is there a way to make this with out sewing 😫?

[@tashalala]

erin alexis maybe with some veeeery good fabric glue

[@TeraLangshaw]

did you sew darts?

[@LakiaTy]

How did you connect the top strap ?

[@deborahk6311]

Lakia Dean I personally cut six of those little straps instead of four, so I had two for the top also where the string could attach to

[@thefabricexchange]

what an awesome information

[@cottoncandyhg8517]

Great job
