Really fab top. It looks very figure flattering. I'll keep an eye out for the zipper version. I have at least 5 twist tops now so I need something new. : )

Gorgeous - love the brown color. BTW, a hussy is more of a man-stealer, what you are is...um...well not that! If ya got it, flaunt it!! ;-)

It looks gorgeous Leslie! I love the narrow V-neck! Very nice colour too.

Lovely - lovely - a beautiful long dangling necklace will really set this off for a night on the town.

Deepika said...
Love that top! Thanks for the tips on raising or lowering the neckline. I am trying to find some time so I can make this top. It does look like a very versatile pattern.

Its even cuter in real life!!!!

Karla Kizer said...
That top is so YOU! I love it. I've looked at the pattern pieces and have one concern: does the horizontal seam hit below the bust, or across the middle of it?

STACEYWILSON said...
Love the top! I also love the dressform. Where did you get it?
2/12/07 2:36 PM
GorgeousFabrics said...
I love it! It's faboolious. I have to go out and get this pattern now. I have some great Modal jersey from Kashi that would look stunning in this pattern.

Great neckline Leslie. I might have to pick this one up.

What a lovely top. It looks very good. I recently have positive experience with other jalie patterns and will put this pattern on my wish list.

Wow! Another pattern I absolutely must get!

Gorgeous top!

Very cute and I'm sure fabulous on you. Thanks for bringing this one to our attention. I like all the seaming (and alteration possibilities). This is a "must buy."

MelissaB in WA said...
Oh Miss Leslie, I love it, but you knew I would! LOL ;-) I can't wait to sew this up for me!!! :-)

Leslie in Austin said...
Karla, the horizontal seam is empire--definitely below the bust. Stacey, Bertha is a My Twin Dress Form. Can't wait to see all the versions of this top that the rest of you make!

I just got my copy of this pattern Saturday and it is on top of my list. Thanks for the tips about squaring the shoulders as I often do this alt as well. Your top is great and so is your review.

Oooh, it is so pretty! Great top, Leslie! I bet that your hubby loves this on you!

Love it! I've been impatiently waiting for my pattern to arrive, and your review hasn't helped. :) My pattern better get here soon, as your top looks so good I want to make three of these.

This pattern looks like a real keeper...I can tell your garment construction is top notch.

So you were keeping this one under wraps, huh? This must look fabulous on you.

Thank you for the review, Leslie -- you do beautiful work! I will have to check out this pattern.

Your top is fabulous! I bet is looks awesome on you in that beautiful brown. What a flattering neckline. I agree with Mary a long necklace would be the finishing touch.

Very pretty and different (and quick)--I like it!

Thanks for the review. I just received this pattern from PR. I purchased a sleeveless ready-to-wear version of this last summer and it was the most flattering summer top...I look terrible in most sleeveless tops, but the extra width on the neck balances the arms nicely. Not a "fleshy" look. Good neckline for those of us with "Nora Ephron Syndrome"...

Harriet Rogers said...
Another great top created by and for the Texas Beauty. Love the color and style, and for me (aging sewer), the neckline would be perfect. Guess Ill be buying another pattern this week. Thanks for review, Leslie. The top has lots of 'class".

Debbie Cook said...
Well, you Longhorn Hussy you, ;-) ... this looks great! Thanks for the helpful fixes and notes. Great review, pretty top!

Great top, it would be a good color on you. Thanks for the review.

Yep, this one is fabulous. It's a great style, and your sewing looks flawless, of course!

Stunning top and the colour is divine!

Hilary said...
Very pretty, Leslie! And kudos for using up your ETA Dallas fabric before buying more :D LOL I hope someday I can go too! Wah! Glad y'all had fun. The San Antonio Expo was, shall we say, less than inspiring. Oh well!
2/16/07 4:16 PM
KristenI said...
Ooohhhh, I love the style and yours look super cute! I will definately have to make this one up. Nice review.
2/20/07 10:33 PM
AnneM said...
Love the neckline on this. Hussy you aren't, but with your model figure you can wear more revealing things.
2/21/07 9:02 AM
madhatter said...
a cute top! and i know how hard this kind of fabric is to sew - you really did a perfect job!

SewKnitYKnot said...
Love your shirt! It looks very versatile -- like the elegant or sporty-side could be played up. I'm just about to get started on this pattern. Thanks for the great tips.

Great looking top. I'd love to make one, too.

Elekis said...
I love this top ... I have made this for my daughter and she loves it. I must agree that I would also lower the neckline ... a really wonderful pattern!
