This top is fully lined, so if you prefer to add an innerlining of powermesh or swim cups it is very easy to to.


Pattern options for the Mae Top include:

  • Center: Plain Gathered / Center Knot /Center Loop
  • Lining: Fully Lined
  • Fit Options: Regular Pieces / (Adult Only) Small Bust Adjustment Pieces / (Adult Only) Full Bust Adjustment Pieces
