Ecrulace said... Well done - very attractive 2/13/11 7:26 AM
joanico said... Thank you so much for this review. When I first saw this pattern, I did not even look twice, because the dress would never be apropriate for my body type and age. But the top is really wonderful! So classy and different! 2/13/11 8:15 AM

FreyaStark said... A chic and distinctive top. I prefer it without the box, but of course it's a nice touch for a smarter occasion when you want something dressier. Where did you get the fabric? 2/13/11 6:14 PM
dingyadi said... Thanks for the nice comments everyone! Hi Freya Stark, the fabric is from a shop in Perth called Potter Textiles Outlet. Unfortunately they don't seem to have a website, but if you are ever in Perth it is worth a visit. 2/14/11 7:02 AM

Allie in Hong Kong said... Your top looks great - thanks for waning us about the length as a dress too! Like carolynw I overlooked this pattern but now I want it! 2/15/11 5:26 AM
AuntyZelda said... This look fabulous! I think I will give it a try. I too, don't think I'd ever wear it as a dress as is. That is way too short for my taste, but saw it's potential as a long top and I love your modification into making it a hip length top. 2/23/11 2:57 PM
