So clear and helpful. Beautiful fabric. I guess you could lengthen the lining by a few inches if you wanted?

Thanks for the clear tutorial! Very helpful. A nice easy pattern, and simple to modify to suit your preference. I cut the straps double the width of the pattern, which suited me better, and modified the strap area slightly to accommodate that change. Shortened the straps a good bit for better fit.
I used a white charmeuse which was pretty light weight. I didn't like the way the shorter lining showed through, so I ended up cutting a new full lining using the top pieces, shortened by about 1/2". Something to consider if your fabric is light enough that the shorter lining shows through.

Really like the method you used to attach the straps to the back of the top! Using a safety pin was genius! Tfs 👍🙂
