In case I forget to mention this later, I have to thank Marec for drawing my attention to this pattern. Also, I love this pattern! In fact, I am ecstatic!
Pattern Description: Close fitting pullover tops with neck binding, seam detail, stitched hems, options to vary fabric to different effect, topstitching, optional silkscreening
Pattern Sizing: 8-24. I sewing a 16, matching my high bust. For this version (version A), I graded to an 18 in the hips. The fit is very good.
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, very.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the potential to mix fabrics. I did not put a sheer knit in the balk yoke, which is suggested, because other people commented that their bra straps showed. I didn't want that effect in the office. I also liked that the pattern pieces match beautifully.
Fabric Used: Cotton knit for the body, and a cotton-nylon burnout as the neck binding and wrist trim.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: no changes, except as mentioned about not using sheer knit in the back panel.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes, indeed, will be buying some fabric for it later today. the material for this version came from my stash (yes!)
Conclusion: A winner!
