That is a great tee. Love the boatneck and the fabric.

Lovely T-shirt. Thank you for the pattern comparison. It is very interesting to see the different armscye. I have had problems in this area and you have certainly given me food for thought. Thanks again!

Thanks for the comparison. I was thinking of purchasing this one and now I'm sold on it!

A great t-shirt. The comparison you made was excellent. Thanks for showing it so graphically. I'm not sure I understand what effect the new armhole would have. Would it be larger? smaller? more comfortable? Less? Would it be a better or worse fit for someone with relatively fat arms? I've never tried Jalie, but from the various reviews I have read, they really seem to have the best tops. I think I just may have to try one. Thanks for the review.

A great t-shirt and great review. Thank you for showing the picture comparisions for the armhole differences between the two patterns.

Great looking tee shirt on you. Thanks for the armsyce comparison. I never liked the old Jalie armsyces, but the new higher cut, more scooped out one is much better.

The boatneck T-shirt looks terrific on you. Thanks for the tip on the armscye. I will give this one a try.

I was on the fence about purchasing Jalie 2804 - you helped me make up my mind! ha ha. Thanks for showing the armsyce - it will definitely help the fit for me. Yipee!

Cute top and it fits perfectly.

Thank you so much for the comparison! This looks a lot more like my personal block, actually, how interesting. And you're quite right, we can get wrinkles like rtw, but the point is not to do that..

All the tops you've made lately are wonderful. I love the flared sleeves and this print. Very cute!

Love this fabric. It's nice to have a TNT pattern that you have modified for your likes. Great job.

Cute, cute! I'm debating bell sleeves for the SWAP, and you look like you like yours!

What a great fitting shirt - you always do such nice work. Thank you for the review. (By the way, you need to fix the link for "Red version" - the end of the link should not end with "http://" - take that out and the link should work.)

Looked at the photo and immediately thought of Ann's "Wowzers Campers" fits this to a tee - LOL - love it - love it and your usual fantastic work

I've really been wanting to try a Jalie pattern and you've convinced me. Now I can't wait until it arrives. I too get that wrinkling and wasn't experienced enough to know how to take it out. Thanks for a great review!
