Puppy 6/23/08You may have had your troubles with it, but I'd say the finished results are fantastic...very classy and elegant looking! It definitely doesn't look like PJ's. Wear it and be proud!

Rhonda in Montreal 6/23/08Ruthie, your complete outfit looks sophisticated & lovely!! Wear it!!

clin 6/24/08I don't think it looks anything like a PJ top - I made this some time ago in a print and I must have had the same frustration as you did with the facing - enough to say I cannot find the pieces to make another!!

Tiner W 6/24/08I think the top looks very elegant on you!

Callie 3 6/24/08I was so impressed with the finished top that I want the pattern. So, NO, it does not look like a pj top. Make another one in a print and I bet you'll like it. I like drop sleeves so I think it looks great on you but I'm more into comfort than looks anyway.

wvsher 6/24/08I think your finished top looks great despite the pattern difficulties. Not at all pj or lounge top -- wear it anywhere!

Annette1 6/24/08Very pretty, and I think it looks great for daywear. I bet if you made it in a print, you wouldn't think it looks like pajamas at all. I love it.

yorkshire lass 7/1/08Another vote for not looking like a PJ top. I really like this on you, and if it is as comfortable as you say, then definitely wear it with pride.
* * *
RuthieK 7/2/08I wore it yesterday, and it was lovely and cool. I think its the fabric that gives it a slight nightwear look. DH wasn't convinced by it as a blouse, but I think its the fabric choice.

Dinosauarwoman 1/10/09I love your top! I just ordered the pattern and am going to make one for myself....yours is wonderful!
