martinanne said... Great look, Melissa! The black V neck and your dark hair frame your face beautifully! 5/21/08 2:25 PM
HawkeMorningStar7 said... Great looking shirt. I do so like those V necklines too :) 5/21/08 4:15 PM

Meggie LuLu said... What a CUTE top!!!! Great job!!! You always do such a wonderful job on everything you sew!!!!! I LOVE black and white together!!!! 5/21/08 5:02 PM
Annette1 said... Flattering is the word, all right! This neckline is just PERFECT: not too low, not too high, slightly curved at the sides, not too wide. :o) Your V turned out perfectly, and I like your sleeves MUCH better than the puffed sleeves. I thought I HAD to have puffed sleeves for a while, but then I never got around to making them -- ha! -- and now I'm back to preferring the classic styles anyway. Great top! 5/21/08 6:22 PM
EveS said... What a great tee, esp. w/ the sleeve alteration! (I, too, struggle w/ puffs.) I can see you getting lots and lots of use out of this patter. You really make me want to sew OttWoman, too! 5/21/08 10:02 PM

mssewcrazy said... I can't imagine anything unflattering on you but I really love your shirt. I guess the ottobres I have stashed need to come out and get traced. 5/22/08 6:07 AM

Winifred said... Lovely flattering top Melissa. I have this issue so must get down to it. I like your change of sleeve - I rhink the other may be a bit " young " for me at 65 !! - we'll see. 5/22/08 5:24 PM

slanden99 said... Looks like we were both thinking about this shirt at the same time (although I haven't started mine yet). Glad it turned out so well for you. Good idea to use the regular sleeves--looks good 5/27/08 1:10 PM
