This top looks like a hooded corset jerkin over a blouse but it is one piece. The corset portion has corset seaming and piping. The clam shell hood is sewn to a high stand up back collar to give it nice shape both when up and down. There are laces in the back to adjust the fit. The blouse portion of the top should be made from Chic Stars Polyester Spandex mix or Chiffon (which is doubled over the breast so it is not clear). The corset Jerkin section can be made of Jacquard Velvet, Ponte, or TR . ***********Thank you very Much MB your encouragement on this design. Thank you Charlie Bupp for the idea to add laces to the back of this top. And Thank you Christine Rotondi for the suggestion to try it with long sleeves. And Thank you Anna-Maria Syk for your suggestion to even out the hem.
