CSM--Carla said... COH, this really is a great looking top! I may have to go with this pattern. Are the edges of the neckline finished by folding over and topstitching or are there facings? Thanks for your review. Carla 11/19/06 6:09 PM
Sew4Fun said... Lovely! I like your fabric choice; it makes the perfect evening top. I'm wearing my top as I type :) and I agree about the gathers. 11/19/06 6:15 PM

Sewing Chick said... Carla, you serge the edges and then topstitch. Initially, I used the stretch stitch on my sewing machine, but didn't like the look, so I just topstitched. I didn't think the twin needles would look good on the velvet. 11/20/06 9:06 AM
AnneM said... This looks to be a really nice pattern; I like the style. And nice to know it hides a little stomach fluff. 11/20/06 10:18 AM
OP Gal said... Beautiful top. I can't believe you made it in a hour! And we still have "coming out" balls in Kansas City, too, so it's not just a Southern thing. 11/20/06 5:58 PM
Tee Jay said... Smashingly beautiful top! I always thought of it as casual--but now I see you can really dress it up. 12/1/06 8:23 AM

AnnS said... I love this in the stretch velvet! I made the other top (the shirred boat neck) a year and a half ago when the pattern first came out, but I must make this one in a brown stretch velvet after seeing your version! 1/5/08 11:23 AM
Lovely!
