| oracle | 7/22/07 | Wow, great top and helpful review. It looks really great on you! I just bought this pattern, and after seeing yours am even more eager to try it. (I'm also a D cup.) And thanks for all the photos! Your converting it from the string to a full back is an interesting change. While you may want to let out the back a little (as you say), the back neckline fits you to a "T". |

| Frozzy | 7/22/07 | Your top looks great, it drapes so nice in the front. What type of knit fabric did you use? Was it a jersey or interlock? |

| Mary Mary | 7/22/07 | I just got this pattern and am a DD cup so I will do as you showed and adjust the front. I hope I can do as well as you did. Mary |

| Irene | 7/23/07 | Your full-bust adjustment link is worth at least a thousand words! Thank you for a thorough and encouraging review. |

| lmg | 7/23/07 | Those diagrams of the FBA are extremely helpful to me for DD. Thanks. With the new back do you find the shoulders stay in place? |

| Nancywin | 7/23/07 | Thanks for the picture of the FBA. I never could figure out how to do it right on this style bodice. I can see how that will work. |

| Annette1 | 7/24/07 | This top looks so nice on you, and I love that color. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks of things AFTER I'm already in bed. I especially appreciate your picture of the full bust adjustment to the front pattern piece. |

| Annette1 | 11/28/07 | Okay, Miss Priss, I just now bought this pattern based SOLELY on how nice yours looks. AND, while I was on the Jalie site, I felt the need to buy three MORE patterns, too. So at this point, I figure you owe me $52.47! :o) I think yours is my favorite "twist top" of all. I have the Kwik Sew pattern and have made it a couple times, but I'm going to try this one. I like that modesty panel, for one, because even when I raised the neckline on the other one, I still felt like it was low (way too low to wear to work, for sure). Thanks for the great review! |

| Sigrid | 11/29/07 | Annette1: Oh dear, I'm so sorry :-))) How can I make up to you?
Really convinced that you're going to like Jalie. I started with their jeans jacket, and was downright sold after that. They're expensive to buy, but feel they're worth it. We'll see your results here soon I presume? |

| Cidell | 11/29/07 | I'm with Annette. I think this is the best twist top pattern I've seen. I also really like the modesty panel. |

| Annette1 | 11/29/07 | Sigrid: Well, I'm ashamed to admit I have SEVERAL Jalie patterns (mostly for pants), but I've never actually MADE one of them. :o) Maybe this top can be my first one. (I'll use your review as my go-by.) I also ordered two other patterns for tops, and that one for the city coat, which I also first noticed on one of your reviews. (Boy, you're REALLY going to we me before this is all done.) I love the lines of that coat, and the yokes. I was also glad you mentioned in this review to always check the sizes on the Jalie patterns, as they differ. I hadn't realized that. So just keep those reviews coming, giving me big ideas. :o) |
