Pattern Description: Dolman sleeve top with sleeve length variations.

Pattern Sizing: XS,S,M,L,XL

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes the instructions are easy to follow. You can download this pattern for free from Cation Designs Click here

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This is a really great pattern that could be easily adapted to create many different looks.

Fabric Used:I used a cheap poly knit that was a bit thin for this top. I need to wear a camisole under it.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made the medium. I found that the hem band was too loose so I shortened it by 2.5". Also, the neckline was way too wide on me. I increased the width of the neck band by 2" to try and bring the neckline in. This sort of worked but I think I should have made the neckband shorter as well, so that it would sit better. I shortened the length of the top by 3/4".

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will definitely sew this pattern again and I do recommend that you give it a try.

Conclusion: I love the shape of this top. Really suits my figure, and it is so easy to sew, and it's free. What's not to like? More photos Click here
