Looking for patterns similar to Colette's Sencha
Ali M Beginner WA USA Member since 12/21/10 Posts: 21	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/12/12 6:24 PM So the Sencha is a cute top Colette Sencha but I really just don't think it'd be flattering on my larger frame with the folds in the front at the stomach area. I LOVE, absolutely love the size and look of the keyhole and ties at the top of that version, but have been having trouble finding other shirts that really delivers that. Simplicity 2927 + 2756, and New Look 6009 have some similarities, but I figured it couldn't hurt to throw this question out there since I am not satisfied with those really either.

I think I will end up getting one of those at some point, the neckline does look kind of fun. Laura, thank you for those suggestions, I'm still not a very experienced sewer so it didn't even occur to me that I could experiment like that.
