What Makes the "Vicky" Wrap Top Pattern Unique?
Traditional wrap tops rely on long ties that can untie, bunch up under jackets, or sag throughout the day. The Vicky wrap top reimagines this silhouette with smart design details:
1. Convenient Side Button Opening
Instead of tie straps, the front wrap panel secures at the side seam with a button. This allows you to easily adjust the fit across your bust and waistline while keeping the silhouette crisp and streamlined.
2. Flattering Cross-Over Neckline
The V-neckline frames the collarbones beautifully without feeling restrictive. It’s designed to fit close to the body, making it ideal for layering over camisoles, leotards, or wearing on its own.
3. Comfort First for Active & Everyday Wear
Designed specifically for lightweight to medium-weight stretch knits, this top moves with you. Whether you're head-to-toe in activewear or styling a casual weekend outfit, the knit fabric ensures all-day flexibility.
