Introducing the Electra Tube Top - a one-of-a-kind design that offers both comfort and support, perfect for those looking for a comfortable bra alternative.
This versatile top is not only designed to be a supportive bra but can also be worn as a regular corset/top! Its unique design provides the perfect amount of compression to give you a smooth, streamlined silhouette without sacrificing comfort.

I received some valuable feedback from one of my customers and realized that this design could be a supportive and comfortable option for anyone who wants to use it as a soft alternative to a chest binder as well (especially for non-binary/trans people).

Whether you choose to wear it as a bra, a soft alternative to a chest binder or a top, the Electra Tube Top is designed to give you the confidence and support you need!

★Electra is a name of Greek origin and it means “shining, bright”.
Electra is the Greek Goddess of the storm clouds and, in Greek Mythology, is the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra: she encouraged her brother Orestes to kill their mother to avenge their father’s death.

Materials:
4 mm crochet hook, DK yarn, needle to wave in, tape measure, stitch markers, scissors.

Skill level: Intermediate
(You need some experience in crocheting)

★This pattern is “made to size”: it requires the use of a tape measure and few calculations. It doesn’t provide a specific stitch count for each size as, I believe, everyone has a different and UNIQUE body.
I designed it to be completely made to measure and suitable for everyone, no matter what size, gender, and body shape HOWEVER, it is true that each body is different, and there may be variations in how the pattern fits from person to person.
You will find my testers’ annotations and my instructions to help you along the process.

The pattern has a lot of pictures to clarify the written instructions.

You would need between 200 yards of yarn (size XS) up to 400 yards (size XL) or more ( bigger sizes).

This design has been tested by people with different bodies and bra cups: XS- 32 A cup, XS- 34 B cup, XS - 32 C cup, S - 36 B cup, L– 36 C cup, L - 38 C cup, XL- 50 C cup

~a small PDF gift will be added to your order~

PS. I create the design from start to end, so please DON’T COPY that.
