jennybaxt said... This is really pretty and the fabric looks lovely. I did not even know there was such a thing as linen jersey. I will look out for it now. 8/23/10 7:54 AM
Elke said... Very pretty top and it looks fabulous on you! Love the linen jersey too. 8/23/10 8:01 AM
carolynw said... It's so beautiful - lessening the size did nothing to distract from the overall look - it's floaty and feminie and looks so good on you 8/23/10 8:49 AM
cindyann said... That is so lovely! Excellent fabric and pattern pairing. 8/23/10 9:00 AM
christea said... Wow-the result looks as good (and very much like) the picture on the envelope! How'd you manage the neck band? It looks so professional in your pic's. 8/23/10 1:29 PM
AuntieShel said... Now you have done it, Yoshimi!!! The moment I saw the photo in the review gallery, I knew exactly what pattern this was and also knew that I will probably run out today and buy this pattern at full price (or as much full price as one is required to pay at JoAnn.) I have loved this top forever and seen all the wonderful renditions made by PRers, but have resisted because I dislike gathering. Now I have seen yours and have to have it. "Common" is not a word I would put in the same review with this top. Thoroughly enjoyed your blog entry, too--you are too funny!! 8/23/10 1:31 PM
MNBarb said... I don't know how you took a loose-fitting beige top and made it look wonderful, but you did. It looks great on you with your jeans and lovely jewelry. This must be your style. 8/23/10 4:22 PM
nellc said... Really lovely top! 8/23/10 5:32 PM
rebija said... I'm so glad you did this review. I'm not always sure about illustrations on pattern envelopes. This one turned out beautifully! 8/23/10 7:02 PM
marec said... Pretty top, pretty outfit and pretty background. It looks like a magazine pic. 8/23/10 7:46 PM
FreyaStark said... A very chic and distinctive top with a relaxed, bohemian feeling. Reducing the amount of gathering is a clever way to cope with not having enough fabric, and it has not spoiled the look of the top at all. I love your moody photography, too. Well done! 8/23/10 9:10 PM

Fran G said... I always get excited when I see that you have posted a review because I know I am going to love your project! And I love this one! You have the great instinct of knowing which patterns and which fabric is going to look perfect on you! This top matches you perfectly: soft, feminine but simple. Love it!! Thanks for the review! 8/24/10 8:47 AM
Catbird said... I am completely in love with this top, and your necklaces, styling, photos are all so wonderful. I think your reduction in the gathers and especially your perfect choice of fabric made this very high-end looking. I just love it and I WANT one! 8/25/10 10:42 AM
