Pattern Description: Wrap front top is gathered at left side. A: halter B: short sleeve C: below elbow length sleeve

Pattern Sizing:6-12

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, with some modifications.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I love the style. Especially the ruching on the side.

Fabric Used:ITY Jersey from G. Street Fabrics.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:As others reviewers recommended, I did not use the self-facings. Instead I used ArtAttacks' neck binding method and it worked out great. I also applied Steam-A-Seam at the bottom hems and stitched them.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes to both.

Conclusion: I love wrap tops and this is one of my favorite. Don't know why it took me so long to try it!

Thanks for the neck binding link. I don't have a serger so I sometimes give it another fold after the first step. I call it the fold and flip....so much easier than the tradition bias application. Beautiful print!
