It is said that if you turn a bluebell flower inside-out without tearing it, you will win the one you love, and if you wear a wreath of bluebells you will only be able to speak the truth. Bluebells are full of fairy folklore and in that spirit, the Bluebell Top is a whimsical wearable ode to this beautiful flower. With an interesting bottom-up construction, a lovely selvedge edge around armholes and a peep hole at the back, the bodice hugs the bust, while the peplum skirt, made top-down, flies with wonderful drape and a beautiful yet easy to memorize lace pattern.
