purpleseamstress said... This is a beautiful top with an interesting and original fit. The results of this top are what sewing is all about, coming up with something one of a kind that fits well. I like the way the arms of this blouse are done and the fitted look with the soft drapey cowl. Gives a soft elegant look but retains the feminine shape of the chest area. 7/8/06 6:12 PM
Tailypo said... Fantastic job! I have a DVF top with a similar drape front but it is practically unwearable because bras always show at the dart/pleat. Your version is much nicer than Diane's!!! 7/8/06 6:23 PM
ConnieBJ said... I am impressed - that looks wonderful. 7/8/06 6:27 PM
CarolynGM said... Your process sounds like so much fun. The top is original and lovely. I can't wait to see the silk one. Please be sure to post an update! 7/8/06 6:52 PM

MaryBeth said... I definitely applaud using the PMB software for this type of project. Even though it takes lots of extra time the results are great. I'll be staying tuned! 7/9/06 8:18 AM

Karla Kizer said... What a great top. It fits beautifully and the drape is concentrated exactly where it will show when worn with a jacket. I printed out your review and the pattern front you linked to. I hope you consider imitation to be the best form of flattery. 11/5/06 5:38 PM
mClones said... What a timely review for me as I have just completed the HotPatterns Renaissance top a few reviews below. Your controlled cowl/drape neck is a much more flattering. Would you know of a commercial pattern that would approximate your original design? 11/5/06 5:53 PM

BeckyC said... Wow! The neckline is fabulous! I missed this review the first time around and am really sorry I did. You did a great job on the neckline -- I love the drape -- so unique. Thank you for sharing! 11/5/06 10:27 PM
