This is a vintage-inspired top that I designed when I needed something to wear to go out. One of those moments when the closet suddenly seems very empty, even though you didn't get rid of any clothes. Strange...
I wanted it to be adaptable to more formal settings as well as to wild parties, and since I love to dance (and it can get rather warm on the dancefloor!) I wanted it sleeveless with bare shoulders. You can always wear a shrug to cover up a bit, right?
The first time I wore it was to afternoon tea at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, thus the name.
It's a very easy to sew project, and since I uploaded it on Burdastyle in February this year it has been downloaded nearly 16 000 times (I'm amazed and a bit frightened by it!)
Take a look at some of the other finished versions! Here's another one of mine, in a cotton gingham.

I've also made a how-to with instructions for the pleated trim here.
