Now that you've made the changes this looks like it could be a handy tee pattern for you. Thanks for the useful review.

Belinda, the t-shirt looks great with your modifications. This would be a good, basic pattern for my daughter...the one with the broad shoulders so I may give it a try. Would a C cup bust need the bump out at the side seams?

Love your tee! Thanks for the info on the pattern. Those kinds of surprises make me nuts.

Take a look at New Look 6762. It has a nice fit and lower neckline. Neckline band is wider. I'm a D cup and it fits with no modification, though I've always used really stretchy stuff. Hmmm maybe I should review that one, LOL.

Wow - love it - your changes make it fab. Great job.

Paula, I think it would depend on how much stretch/recovery your fabric has plus how your DD's m'ments compare to Kwik Sews. As KS uses S-M-L sizing there is a big jump between sizes. Sorry, I'm not much help. All I can suggest is sewing a muslin like I did. :)

Thanks BeeBeeSew for the pattern suggestion. It would be good if you could review that pattern as the only review of the top gave it the thumbs down.

Really cute tee, great review re changes...yeah I hate it when picture is so different from how it turns out, Kwik Sew is adding more modelled pix now I have noticed, more accurate.

Your changes make this another perfect tee for your TNT collection! It's very cute, even though I know you don't like the fabric.

You don't like the fabric? I'm not sure I would have either - but I love it made up! Thanks for reviewing this pattern- I have it in my stash, untouched. I'm just beginning a mission to find my perfect tee.

This came out very nice with all your changes. I haven't made this yet, so thanks for the good info.

The last time I made this, I seem to remember discovering that the short sleeve is narrower than the long sleeve, so it pulls the neckline up more. That's not at all obvious from looking at the pattern! Maybe that helps explain why the neckline doesn't match the illustration.

Cute and fun muslin!

This is a very valuable review -- I have this pattern and your comments are very helpful. With your changes, it should be cute, quick, and easy!

Thanks for the review -- I'm on a tee-shirt pattern bender and was curious about this one. Thanks for the heads up on the boxiness -- that's something I'm trying to avoid, myself. Plus your 'muslin' is so cute you should finish it and wear it!
