Made for Mermaids Sewing Patterns are digital downloads. You will print OR project them at home, OR send them to a copy shop to print. This is not a physical garment or pattern and nothing will be mailed to you. Amalfi is an incredibly versatile, fully lined, and reversible 3-piece swimsuit. The cross-over top is made with 2 separate bodice pieces, layered on top of each other, and the bottoms complete the 3 piece swimsuit. The cross-over style top is flattering and comfortable. For maximum versatility, there is no front or back on the bodices, so you can flip and wear it several different ways. On the bottoms, you can choose from a low or high leg line option. Both leg lines have a slightly cheeky back. Choose to sew 1 or 2 tie pieces to complete your swimsuit. Use the tie/s to change the look of your suit, making it look like a wrap style, bikini, halter, and more. Amalfi is the ultimate travel and capsule swimsuit of your dreams!
