The end result of straying from the commercials is great - I love the way your top looks! The drape is devine and it looks comfy too. I'm impressed!

Oh that is so very cool. If I had your body, I'd be all over it.

Wow.. that is a cool top! I missed it when I was skimming through the anthropologie site. Yours looks wonderful! I don't think there are too many pleats.. it's just right.

Your top is beautiful and that knit seems perfect for the draping.

Beautiful and drapes so well!

This does look wonderful! For a similar pattern to this, try Simplicity 2283. It doesn't have the flutter sleeves, but you can get a similar look on the front with this pattern.

That RTW top is my favorite! But yours is even better. I'm so impressed. Are there directions anywhere that a beginner might be able to follow to draft the pattern? I have to have this top!

Really cute, you did a terrific job! Anthropologie is one of my favorite inspiration sites, their clothes are adorable. I would suggest Simplicity 2554 as another possible place to "start" something similar, as its got the droopy neck and similar sleeves. At least it would give you an idea of how the drape looks when flat.

If you have a close-fitting knit top pattern in your stash that you have successfully used before, I recommend using it as a starting point. Fitting your torso will be all done, one just has to move the shoulder seam forward and perfect the drape. Study the pictures of the pattern alterations at Tanit-Isis Sews blog. I used an out-of-print boat-neck top pattern. I grabbed sleeves from yet another pattern. It did take a few tries using a ugly fabric from my stash to get the drape the way I wanted it.

One more thing. The tucks need to be done a little differently on each side. If you study the inspiration top, the drapes are somewhat random. In one of my practice tops the tucks for the drapes were done the exact same way on both sides and the drapes were not nearly as interesting. So beginning sewers who are afraid to attempt this top, how many times will someone tell you that sewing each side differently is actually good?

I tried this too. My version is a bit less dramatic than yours, and I agree. It takes two tries. . . http://analogme.typepad.com/analog-me/2011/03/cowls.html
