Debbie Cook said... MB, they are all great, but I especially like the smock. The colors are great on you. I also don't think it looks like a Big Shirt because it's fitted at your shoulders/armholes. I think it's much more contemporary than you're giving it credit. Sort of like the shorter trenches that are so popular. 9/11/05 2:45 PM
Lisa Laree said... Thanks, MaryBeth! This pattern has been in my stash for absolute ages but I haven't tried it yet. I've pulled it out several times, but for some reason have always opted to do something else. I needed a reminder to get it out again... ;) 9/11/05 2:46 PM
Georgene said... Excellent review, and excellent results. Looks like 3 times is the charm, and now you've got it down. We could all learn from your stick-to-itiveness with this pattern. Looking forward to seeing a few more versions of this from you :-) 9/11/05 3:05 PM

Mary Stiefer said... What a great looking top. I love the fact that different fabrics make a big change in how this looks. Great job. 9/11/05 4:27 PM
bunz said... You've really nailed this one, MB. They look great! Thanks for bringing up this pattern - hadn't noticed it. 9/11/05 4:34 PM
PVA said... Thanks for this review, Mary Beth. This pattern is really a winner & you've made the most of all the possibilities! I like the fitting work you've done -- great results! 9/11/05 5:46 PM

Hilary said... Pretty shirts! I really like the sleeveless one especially-it looks so cool and comfortable! 9/11/05 9:44 PM

ryan's mom said... I like all your tops, especially the long one. You're right--this is a workhorse of a pattern! 9/12/05 8:19 AM
AnneM said... Nice tops, great review. Good suggestion to work some of the techniques on a slightly less fitted version of a top pattern. 9/20/05 4:41 AM
Mini said... Thanks for the review and pictures. I saw this in the catalog, and wondered how it would look in real life. I use a Vogue 18, and wanted to see this shirt on someone similar. It looks so good! I especially like the long version, which looks more flattering than the usual big shirt. 4/2/06 5:57 PM
