Pattern Description: Misses loose-fitting knit top with different sleeve variations and neckline variations

Pattern Sizing: Size 6-16 I made View B in a size 10

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like there are few pieces, easy and quick to sew; I didn't like the wide neck

Fabric Used: A soft, slinky two way stretch jersey knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I had sew a gray one and the neckline was so wide that it kept falling off my shoulders. I changed the neckline a little. The first one was so wide. Click Here
Here is the front Click Here

I also found that unless the fabric is a two way stretch fabric that the way they have you cut the waistband, it will not stretch. Since this fabric had a lot of stretch, I had no problem.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will probably make View A for this summer; I highly recommend this pattern.

Conclusion: I can see why so many people made this. I love this top!

Looks great - every time I go to make this I get nervous that it won't fit - guess I just have to bite the bullet as yours looks so lovely

OMG...I don't feel so bad now. I just made this in view B and it falls off of my shoulders too. I wish there was a way I could fix it because I used such a beautiful fabric! Yours looks awesome. edit...I don't mind it slipping off my shoulders either but way down to me elbow is a bit much :) Still trying to come up with a creative solution.

I cut the neckline a little different and have no problem slipping off my shoulders or showing my bra straps.

Thanks for showing the mods you made to the neckline (front and back). Very helpful. Nice top!
