Yes, I'm new here. And my photo links aren't working. I'll figure it out in the next day or so then update the reviews. Grrrrrr.

Your link to the back worked, & I could move over to the front view. Good job on the hand embroidery.

Beautfiful work, Gwen! Thanks for the review.

Thank you. Hey, this is almost as much fun as lurking and drooling over everyone else's beautiful work!

What a gorgeous top! I picked up this pattern not too awfully long ago...it's still listed at only ten dollars, which is two and a half bucks during the sales at Hancock's. Great value...I gotta get mine made up...

I love this pattern. I finally made the shirt this year, after making about five pairs of the pants when the pattern first came out. I have been hoarding Miyake patterns (the old ones like this one) and trying to acquire more. I love his drapery.

Thanks everyone for your kind compliments. Silk really makes it glam. SJ Kurtz, do you find the pants design still looks contemporary? I never made them and was just wondering if they might be a bit dated now? I love them in the sketch so it's not like it's something I would actually worry about, I just wonder what you think.

I love your choice of fabric and the beautiful embellishment. Elegant is the right word!

I'd love to see your pictures, but for some reason I'm not being permitted on to your site. Is there any way they can be re-posted? Thanks.

My pictures are on Picturetrail, and they seem to have a server problem. I hope they'll get it fixed soon?

I love your treatment of this pattern. I made a more jacket-like top out of it. I reckon if you love the pants make them up - and pants at the waist are coming back in anyway...

Lovely. I'm looking for a top pattern for a gorgeous piece of rich leopard print cotton I have. This looks like it. You say it is large so I'm hoping the size 16 will fit me. The Vogue Pattern page doesn't give any sizing details. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm new here and hope to post some of my reviews and pictures soon.

I have this pattern and the review certainly makes me keen to sew it, the choice of fabric is inspiring and the detail on the back so elegant. Well done

Love your shirt. Love the embroidery. Hope you don't mind if I use your idea. I think it's beautiful.
