Nope--not unless it's the most expensive scrub you have ever cast your eyes on!
It looks terrific as is, but I agree that a solid fabric would really show off those construction details. Why not make it again in, oh, I don't know, silk crepe de chine? 7/19/12 10:37 PM

I think you have to have the right body style for this top. However, I do think yours does look nice and you are right that a solid color would be good for this pattern too. 7/20/12 11:34 AM

And definitely plan to serge my seams! Will leave the french seams to sheers and ravellys, my fabric is not. Nice work, great review. 7/21/12 8:22 AM
