A lovely review! It is nice that there is more than one way to do wrap tops, and they don't have to be body-hugging knits. Lovely colour too. Did you find the pattern expensive? If it is the pattern company I think it is, I was put off by their prices. It looks great on you though!

Thanks for reviewing this. I've been eyeing this pattern for awhile, and thinking of getting it next time I buy Folkwear. Now I'm even more tempted. Looks great on you!

Great style for you and beautiful color. I'm sure you'll get a lot of wear out of this: thanks for such a good review.

The top is absolutely lovely on you. I've been wanting to make this for a while, and it's good to see how it looks on a similar build.

Great to see this review. I made this pattern a while back out of light weight linen. It is a style that is flattering on many different shapes, I think. The gusset under the arm was new for me, but as Annika says, it's pretty straight forward to make. I too found the sleeves to be long and enjoy rolling them up! Thanks, Annika!

Thanks for this review. I bought this pattern for the choli and sari wrapping instructions but never considered this blouse until now.

Annika, your blouse is lovely. I've made this pattern twice and really like it. The pattern is a bit expensive, but you get a couple of other tops with it--a Chinese-type jacket, which I have made, and Indian sarong and top.

What a great look on you! It's so flattering. This may be the wrap top that I finally try and like. Great review!
