Gather materials.
Measure the widest part of your bust and cut the striped material 5 inches shorter than your measurement. The stretch trim needs to be 5” wider than the striped material on each side so that it may tie in the back (mine is 37” wide).
Sew the stretch trim above and below the striped material, with the striped material overlapping both pieces of trim.
Cut the fringe the same width as the hemmed striped material. My hemmed striped material and fringe are 27”. Sew the fringe to the bottom of the bandeau top. I layered mine over the lighter color of trim for contrast.
The back of the top will tie together and look like this:
I also made a headband out of the antique lace. I wrapped it over my head and tied it under the back of my hair- it definitely pulls the boho look together!
