I like the lines of this, it looks very cute. Do you think it could be adapted to use a side zipper? I always have a hard time reaching back zippers. :)

Cute top.

Very very cute. I would have missed this top altogether if it weren't for your review. Following Laura's train of thought: is the neck opening large enough for your head without the zipper? If so, a side zip would be great. Even if not, you could do a split neck in the back with a button and loop and put a zip up the side. Is the entire top lined? Or just above the empire line?

I'd think that in a stretch woven you could skip the zip (hey, it rhymes!).

I don't see why you couldn't adjust the pattern to give it a side zip. It is hard to reach back there. I actually originally just sewed up the back, and I could get it over my head, but I had to nearly dislocate a shoulder to get out of it again. I agree with the poet - I mean sewist ;) - that if the fabric had some stretch you might not need a zipper at all. And it is only lined above the band...

Looks good - would have passed this pattern over but your review makes me think I should add it to the list - although New Year's resolution is to buy less!!

I like your top! I'm a big fan of polka dots. Um, could you just find a Sharpie marker in maroon and color your zipper to match the fabric? Or is that too horrible a cheat for me even to suggest?! Maybe you're not as lazy as I am. You might try it and see how it works--if it doesn't, then replace the zipper.

I LOVE this top! Wardrobe builders are over-rated anyway.. :) I mean, they are great, but they don't stand out without having a few original pieces like this one to go with them. Great colors, elegant look. I agree with the Sharpie idea!

Well a sharpie certainly sounds easier; I am not looking forward to ripping that thing out. I will give it a shot, thanks!

You did a great job. When I first saw this, I thought it was in a maroon velvet. I really like this style. I like the Sharpie idea. Taking out a zipper is a lot of work for such a minor detail.

OOOOH, I like! Adding this to the ever-growing list of summer projects!

Pull out a little maroon marker? Great job on the top.
