Greenstyle Elevate Crop Top and Overlay with Inspire Tights

Each month Greenstyle Creations puts 3 patterns on sale. This month includes the Elevate Crop Top & Overlay and the Inspire Tights. I had to make both for a full outfit.

First - let me tell you about the Inspire Tights. They have a few different options in them. One option is for inserts in the upper leg in the front and back.

I decided that one set of inserts was not enough to show off this cool yellow mesh from Zenith & Quasar, so I made a second set of inserts on the lower leg as well. I used the upper insert as a template to cut the lower one from the pattern. I just estimated where I wanted it and cut the front and back legs at the same time to make sure they would line up. This is the front leg piece with both inserts.

All fabrics that I used came from Zenith & Quasar. The print on my Inspires is Venus Flytraps on Yoga Swim Spandex (YSS). The YSS is my favorite for athletic tights. I find that I grab these more than my others.

I made the Elevate Overlay "sleeveless" but since it has a drop shoulder, it's more like a cap sleeve. I made mine with the light weight athletic brushed poly in Neon Pink.  

This is the back of the Elevate Crop Top and Overlay. I made the racer back crop top and the crossover back overlay with the strap. I made the crop top with gold colored supplex. Also seen in this photo is the top of my under wear. After trying the Inspire Tights on I quickly realized that I need to add about 1 to 1.5" to the back rise to account for my booty. 

 I still feel cute in my new workout wear. I do think I'm going to tack the back overlay together so that it doesn't gape open as much. I did not remove any length for my height and think if I had removed an inch from the length it probably wouldn't gape so much.

Here is the Elevate Crop Top on it's own. It's intended to be worn over a sports bra. I just wore a regular racer back bra under it for photos. It has this cute overlapping band in the front. I will not be wearing the crop top without the overlay to the gym - or anywhere for that matter.

There are many more options on both the Inspire Tights and the Elevate  Crop Top that I did not show or discuss. Both patterns are currently 15% off through the end of March and make great additions to your workout wardrobe.
