marthamyers said... I love all your tops! I too am sort-of pear-shaped. I keep being drawn to this pattern. I guess I'm going to have to buy it now! Thanks for the inspiring review. 12/15/10 5:42 PM
Lilibet said... All your tops look terrific on you. It's a great pattern, not just for pears. I'm more hourglass and get compliments every time I wear mine. I made one for a friend who is apple shaped and it looks lovely on her too.
As you say it is also very easy to vary to skirt part to get different looks. 12/15/10 6:37 PM

rivergum said... m/m, sorry, I didn't make the black top, so i can't recommend a pattern. I was in Europe for their last summer sales and bought quite a few tops from Zarah and H&M to knock off. I find their fabrics and finishing mostly very ordinary, but their styles often have that certain something, even if they are very simple. 12/15/10 7:07 PM

Knitters Delight said... No wonder you keep on making these - they all look fabulous on you! 12/15/10 8:16 PM
Hilary said... They all look great on you~very pretty and flattering! 12/15/10 8:24 PM
lamstu said... All great tops, but the "Target" b/w is above and beyond!! I would never buy that fabric, but I'd buy your top in a heartbeat. I'll look at the large scale prints more carefully from now on. 12/15/10 8:35 PM
Catbird said... I love your "target" top and every single other one you've made from this pattern. It's a great style for you and looks like it would flatter so many figures. I think the best compliment for a review is that it makes you want to get up immediately and head for the fabric store/pattern shop and make one for yourself -- and that's what this review did for me! Thank you -- great work! 12/15/10 8:35 PM
FreyaStark said... Fabulous tops. It's great that the same pattern works so well with different fabric to create quite distinct looks. 12/15/10 8:59 PM
Athene said... All the tops are great and suit you very well. Very attractive. 12/15/10 10:34 PM

Rebecca D said... Love all the versions. Great review. 12/16/10 6:33 AM
DorothyK said... I love all your versions. The target is fantastic and very flattering. I made this pattern awhile ago and am about to publish my review. I did Marcy's neckband and think it's the most interesting feature, so I would highly recommend you try it next time. 12/16/10 10:49 AM
RLL said... All your tops are great, but I especially love the 'target' top. I am drawn to black and white print anyway. You do look very good in it. 12/16/10 4:05 PM
1SewSweet said... Love it, love it, love it!!! I made the version with the turtleneck and really didn't like the neckline either!!! I was going to trash this pattern but glad I saw yours!! With your simple neckline treatment, it made all the difference in the world!! Thank you so much for saving this pattern for me! Your versions are absolutely goregous!! 12/18/10 7:50 AM
Nancy Powers said... I just bought this pattern today and decided to check out the reviews. I love all your versions- I wouldn't have thought to try wool jersey or velour but those versions look great. Thanks for the inspiration! 12/18/10 12:52 PM
Annette1 said... I can't even TELL you how many times I've eyed this pattern and considered buying it. To date, I haven't, but your tops have ALL turned out SO nicely, I'm certainly tempted. I particularly like that it fits so nicely through the upper body. :o) 12/19/10 7:47 PM
