Pattern Description: New Look top in 45 variations

Pattern Sizing: Misses, true to measurements, no surprises

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? It did, cuz I'm a pro, baby!

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very much so- love this pattern- I'm joining the cult!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? so versatile!

Fabric Used: a rayon, a voille and a burn out. Sounds like a punk band!

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: No side zip and I only darted 1 version

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Not soon! Who in the sewiverse is left to recommend it to?

Conclusion: I made this for Gillians sewing dares- find a TNT pattern and make 3 of it and this fit the bill perfectly with my blouse-centric lifestyle. I can sum up my wardrobe as 'if you can't wear it to Disney, why own it?' But I pressed on and made 3 versions that I'm really pleased with:

They ALL look fabulous! How did you manage to make a darted version without also using a side-zip? I'd like the fit of the darted version for myself, but I HATE zippers in woven tops! This is the only thing that is stopping me from trying this pattern!

Well, I have a habit of liking my things a little more roomy than designed, but I did a fit test on a prior short sleeve make of this and it worked...I lucked out!
