Description: Loose-fitting tops A, B, C, D with front drape gathered into loop, dropped shoulder, seam details and stitched hems. A, B: sleeveless. C, D: short or long kimono type sleeves.
Sizing: 8 to 22
Instructions: Easy to follow and great illustrations.
Likes/Dislikes: I have been seeing this garment all over the sewing blogs and on PR. I really wanted to make it and had just enough fabric to get it cut out. I had used some of this fabric for a top for my daughter.
This top is super-flattering and just looks great.
Changes: Added about 1" to the length. Next time I will raise the deep v-neck.
Fabric: ITY knit from fabric.com
Conclusion: I am going to get more fabric and make this one several more times. I might even lengthen it and make a LBD.
Meredith took four pictures of me and in three my eyes were closed and here I am squinting, so this one wins!
You look really nice in this picture and I love the top.
ReplyDeleteYou ALWAYS make the prettiest tops!
ReplyDeleteI have that pattern, too, but haven't made it yet. Your top looks so good that it feels like a little nudge to my sewing.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a fabulous pattern. I haven't made it yet, but I plan to. It looks great, Lori. And YES! we will be back from Michigan when you are here at Niagara! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYour version rocks!
ReplyDeleteVery cute top. I bought this pattern recently. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a winner! And what pretty landscaping you have going on all around you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute top! It looks so nice on you. Pretty flowers, too.
ReplyDeleteAnother winner, Lori! You look great. I have this pattern and can't wait to make it.
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable top! I need to give that one a try. I've had it in my stash since it first came out. I just rotated my summer clothes to the front of my closet last week and I'm in desperate need of lots of new tops so I need to get busy before it gets hot here (it's raining again today).
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I thought it looked pretty flexible too. I've ordered some fabric to make a dress out of it. Glad you mentioned the v-neck being deep. I'll have to remember that when cutting it.

This is such a cool RTW look. You've done well.
ReplyDeleteOooh! this looks wonderful on you! I hope you make the LBD. I bet that would be a knock out.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love this top on you.
