Amanda L said... Vavavoom! I love what you did with this fabric! I too am seeing layers everywhere so the cami idea is totally '04. 6/13/04 9:21 PM
SandraB said... Your top looks great Deepika. The cami looks good with it too. In fact, with all the colours in the fabric, you can use different colours for your camisole with this top. 6/13/04 9:27 PM
gabrielle said... Pretty shirt, I was just looking at this in the catalog! Neat to see it made up, and it looks great with the cami. 6/13/04 9:35 PM
drsue said... very nice top! Layering of tops is very in here in California. Love the fabric. I'm going to be in NYC for a few days this summer with DD and I MUST go to spandex house. 6/13/04 9:36 PM
cynthia w said... love this fabric. what a beautiful shirt it turned out to be! oh, and to hide the "whiskers" on fabric when doing a rolled edge, just use water soluable stabilizer. i keep a batch on hand cut into 1" strips just for this sort of thing. could you elaborate more on the neckline stabilizing with elastic? do you sew the elastic to the right side to the fabric, then turn the seam allowance over and topstitch? or do you sew the elastic to the wrong side? 6/13/04 10:02 PM

PVA said... Thanks for the review, Deepika. I have DGD's who would love this shirt! The cami under looks Waaaay Coooool! I wonderful colors in the fabric, and the cami in different colors for different looks is a great idea! (Love the sleeves!) 6/13/04 10:42 PM

Katharine in BXL said... Glad to see you're back with a review! :) The cami picks up the gray in the print. They look good together. Your top does look a lot like the pattern photo! Fine work. 6/14/04 0:22 AM

Lisette said... I love your version, I made mine in buttermilk and plan to make one in something sheer for the layered look 6/14/04 6:37 AM
Deepika said... Thanks everyone for such nice comments. For a moment I thought that was a wadder, but after reading your comments, I am encouraged to try another one of these! Sandra thats a great tip on using different colored camis for this top. I am dying to make a red cami now. Cynthia I've written a tip on how to stabilize with clear elastic and added it to my review. Hope this helps. 6/14/04 7:04 AM
