ALBA SET – 15 Sizes (EU 30–58)

Description

The ALBA SET is a chic and structured women's two-piece outfit featuring a tailored cropped top and a high-waisted straight skirt.

The cropped top has a fitted silhouette enhanced by bust darts and a built-in waistband that defines the waist. It features a classic tailored collar, short sleeves, and a front button closure for a polished and elegant finish.

The high-waisted skirt has a close-fitting straight silhouette with back waist darts for shaping. It is finished with an invisible center-back zipper and a back vent to provide ease of movement.

Together, the cropped tailored top and fitted skirt create a sophisticated, modern, and feminine silhouette. The ALBA SET can be sewn as a complete coordinated outfit or styled separately as versatile wardrobe pieces.

Recommended Seasons

Spring – Summer – Early Autumn

The ALBA SET can easily be adapted to different seasons depending on your fabric choice. Linen creates a lighter and more breathable version for warm weather, while gabardine or lightweight tweed gives the set a more structured appearance suitable for transitional seasons.

The two-piece design also makes the ALBA SET versatile: wear the top and skirt together for a coordinated look, or style each piece separately with other garments from your wardrobe.

Style Tips

Sew ALBA in linen for a fresh and elegant warm-weather look, or choose gabardine or lightweight tweed for a more structured and sophisticated silhouette.

The cropped top can be styled with high-waisted trousers, jeans, or other skirts, while the fitted high-waisted skirt can easily be paired with a blouse, knit top, or jacket.

Wear both pieces together for a polished co-ord set with a modern tailored aesthetic. The combination of the tailored collar, cropped silhouette, fitted waist, and straight skirt creates a feminine and refined look suitable for many occasions.

Important Note

Before cutting your final fabric, we recommend making a test muslin to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. This can help avoid complicated alterations after cutting your final fabric.

The ALBA SET is an intermediate sewing project (2/5) with an estimated sewing time of approximately 6–8 hours.
