Amanda L said... What a cute top! It goes so perfectly with the 3032 skirt and the scarf is a great finishing touch (even if unfinished!) Any pattern that uses a yard of fabric is a friend of mine, I'll have to get it! 2/5/05 1:08 PM
Debbie Cook said... Deepika, this top looks fantastic on you! The colors are beautiful and I love it with that skirt in the second pic. Wow, it must really be low-cut to start with, but the adjustments you made look great and I think the neckline is perfect on you. 2/5/05 1:09 PM
Gilraen Surion said... beautiful. Looks great. With the scarf and the skirt vey sophisticated. 2/5/05 2:12 PM
Nickle said... Very pretty top. The coloring of the fabric really looks nice on you. I like what you did to the neckline. 2/5/05 2:52 PM
PVA said... Wonderful top! I'm amazed you were able to get that scarf, neckline binding & long skinny tubes for the ties + the top out of 1 yd. of fabric! (Wow) Maybe you're not a genius, just a magician! (ROFLOL) 2/5/05 2:57 PM
jlg said... Great top, Deepika. I agree with the others; the colors are wonderful on you. 2/5/05 3:54 PM
Karla Kizer said... Perfection - the fit, the fabric, the colors, the scarf, everything. I think the neck binding adds alot, too. Not bad for a girl in a "sewing slump". ;-) 2/5/05 4:12 PM
Gigi Louis said... D, it's just beautiful! I bought this pattern too - I had a dress with this shoulder treatment when I was in high school and I loved it! 2/5/05 4:20 PM
tigger said... beautiful fabric and great review - I love the KS skirt in the second photo as well! 2/5/05 4:31 PM
Katharine in BXL said... Oooh, it's so pretty with the scarf and skirt! I agree with you, that scarf looks better unfinished and soft than with hemmed edges. Excellent save with the binding and deep shoulder seams. 2/5/05 4:51 PM

Deepika said... You all really know how to cheer somebody up! And yes with this top I am officially out of my slump Karla :) Amanda you NEED this pattern. But definitely raise the neck.

Rennie Ashby said... Great looking outfit! Don't you love the feeling of stepping out in a completely coordinating ensemble? Especially one you've sewn. Definitely a 'Glamour' DO photo. 2/7/05 10:04 AM
