Digital Sewing Pattern + Video Class Wildvine Corset Top - Women's/Curved Fit 0-38/A-T
A corset-style top for comfortable, everyday wear. Wildvine gets its beautiful shaping from princess seams, darts, and adjustable side lacing - no boning or rigid support.
Wear it solo as a statement sleeveless top, or layer it over a dress or blouse for a completely different look. Choose from a square or v-neckline, regular top or cropped length, and a clean, bound hem or charming peplum - plenty of options to create your perfect top.
The Wildvine's clever side lacing provides adjustability and a tailored fit without any fasteners. Just pop the it on and tighten the laces to your preference - perfect for accommodating body fluctuations.

Make old things new again! Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with recycled fabrics. Look to gently-used vintage linens like tablecloths, duvet covers, or bed sheets. Garments, such as linen or chambray skirts, and fine cotton dress shirts would be lovely too.

I want to buy another one! They are carefully crafted and easy to follow, and the videos are amazing. I can't wait to try this Wildvine corset. I think it'll be the perfect match for all the other garments I made, especially my Lorien skirt!

The Wildvine Top pushed my comfort levels in wonderful ways. I had never sewn a corset-style piece before, and as a self-taught, time-conscious māmā of 2 under 2, I was very nervous about how intricate it looked. To my surprise, it was very straightforward and super easy to follow. I chose a linen-look material, which involved a few extra steps of ironing on interfacing, but other than that, it did not take too much time to whip up. If I can do it, so can you! After seeing the hem version layered and styled in so many different ways, I definitely plan on making a few in that style to go with multiple of my other fun patterned dresses :D. While I tend to dress more 20s-50s in my style, I do love cosplay, and adding a fun bold print will bring this to my everyday wear rotation.
The Wildvine Top was such a fun sew! I absolutely love the unique laced side details—they make the design really stand out. It's a versatile pattern that's perfect for layering in cooler weather or wearing on its own when it's warm. It offers just the right amount of challenge to keep things interesting, making it a really rewarding project to sew. Definitely one I'd recommend if you're looking to build your skills while creating a beautiful, wearable garment.
Wearing the Wildvine Corset Top made me feel like I had stepped back in time whilst simultaneously feeling timeless. The Wildvine corset top can be styled in a classic way as well as contemporary. This autumn I'll be attending my sisters Celtic themed wedding and I pictured the Wildvine top in a linnen with a gingham skirt. The pattern is written with step by step instructions clarified by photographs and video instructions for the tricky bits. There are many tips and tricks in the pattern to help you achieve a professional looking finish.
I made a straight size I without grading to a J around the hips. The ties make the size around the waist adjustable so I chose to base the size on my upper and full bust measurements. The top comes with instructions to make it fully lined creating a beautiful finish on the inside as well.
Wildvine Corset is a teen approved pattern! The cut, the fit, were perfect! I love a pattern where you can customize because of the paneling to give it your personality. I can’t wait to make one for myself.
The Wildvine instructions are really clear and step by step. The fit and size guide was spot on for me and I found the projector file had all the things that I love- clear lines, mirrored pieces and layers. I really enjoyed sewing this corset top. I made the top length with bound hem. I opted to fully line as my fabric is an upcycled white linen sheet and the finishes inside are beautiful.
This top is so cute and actually comfortable. The ties make it adjustable and a little whimsical. The v neck is also a nice depth, not too low. There are so many opportunities to customize and the pattern is beautifully descriptive. Sizing was spot on and easy to choose due to the extremely detailed sizing chart and alteration instructions. I will definitely be making another!
I wasn't sure if this top was going to be for me but oh my I love it so much..... when wearing it I feel like I have stepped out of a costume drama but with a modern twist. I particularly like the lacing at the sides which enable me to alter its fit for comfort and wear with or without a layer underneath.
One of the best features is the full lining- it makes it smooth and comfortable next to the skin. I enjoy using pretty offcuts inside to create hidden contrasts.
