Oh well, I'll have to make something else to 'cleanse my palate' of the experience ;-) 5/1/11 0:52 AM

Glad you finished it; I wouldn't have so kudos to you for persevering in the face of such trials. 5/1/11 8:52 AM
taylormade said... Sounds like you had quite a trial with that pattern. it is soo frustrating to put all the time and fabric into something that's just "not right". Today' fit, in Vogue patterns, has a top that looks similar, and I have made it & it might be just wat you are looking for. It does fit pretty snugly, and I would either self line the whole front (if you use a thin knit)or line with tricot front and back. But it's a well drafted pattern. Good luck on your next project! 5/1/11 8:59 AM
