dresscode said... 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"... 2/13/07 9:08 AM
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". 2/13/07 10:44 AM
