This is a really versatile pattern, and each of your tops turned out beautifully--very flattering and perfectly fitted. Bravo!

Sweet shirts with nice detailing. Look great on you! Thanks for sharing Irene. Carla
8/26/06 2:50 PM
You're the shirt queen, for sure!:-) Love that chevron effect.
8/26/06 2:58 PM
Lovely shirt and smiles!
8/26/06 3:08 PM
I like both variations, but the details on the tunic make it extra special-and so does your happy look wearing it:). Good tips about the upper back adjustment too. I have also noticed that these patterns hang kind of oddly in back without it.
8/26/06 4:01 PM
Ohhh, I love precision stripe stitching. Nicely done, Irene and thanks for the upper back alteration tutorial.

I love the pink stripes! Your sleeve and side vents are terrific. I also love the tropical shirt! This pattern looks like a very useful one. Good luck!
8/26/06 5:46 PM
very nice! I love the pink version!
8/27/06 1:34 AM
I like both variations, but the pink stripe is very attractive and you added such nice details.
8/27/06 7:26 AM
I think you've really captured the vision of 'one pattern, many looks'. Had you not told me these were ITT shirts, I would never have thought it. Great morphing! And fabulous new shirts!
8/27/06 7:51 AM
Great looking shirts...and they each look so different. Nice details on the pink. Seeing the original with the epaulets breaking at your shoulder makes me think that a set-in sleeve would be really flattering on you as well.
8/27/06 10:21 AM
Your review makes it clear that plus sizes can be stylish and attractive, too. You look great in the shirts. I appreciate the detailed review with the descriptions of all the alterations you made. I'll have to remember that back pleat thing, since I usually need a little extra ease through the hips.
8/27/06 12:07 PM
The stripes! Your work is really outstanding!
8/28/06 9:12 AM
I love all these tops. The blue drawstring-waist is very flattering on you and the detailing on the pink--WOW!
8/28/06 9:54 AM
Outstanding pick striped blouse. Love all your tops, but this one is really very special.
8/28/06 11:06 AM
They're all great, but I think the sheer blouse with ruffles is particularly becoming on you.
9/8/06 6:29 PM
Thanks for another helpful review! #3 is my personal favorite but you look great in all of them.
9/8/06 6:50 PM
I really like all of these shirts, especially #3. Great job!!
9/8/06 10:05 PM
I like #3 and #4. YOU are making this pattern very versatile. Good job!
9/8/06 11:13 PM
Beautiful blouses, Irene. Each one special and unique, though I'm crazy about #3 on you. So soft and feminine!
9/9/06 3:08 PM
Boy, what a complete blouse wardrobe--I'd have to vote for the original, & #2 & #3 as my favorites, but you did a wonderful job on all of them. Thanks for all the detailed shots. They're all lovely, and the "squash" binding is a hoot!
9/9/06 7:09 PM
Another great blouse!! Very fresh and pretty.
9/17/06 12:21 PM
You did an absolutely awesome job.
9/17/06 12:46 PM
Irene have you contact Louise and show her your variations from this pattern.. You shirts are great love them all. Iam sure she would be interested in you versions.
9/17/06 12:53 PM
The sheer with ruffles and the grape blouse are my fvorites. I just love how they look on you and give you a waist. I want to those versions. They look so good on you.
9/17/06 1:18 PM
Wow - you certainly have been busy and, because of that, you seem to have an entirely new wardrobe of tops. Very nice. Love the vents on the pink striped one.
9/17/06 1:18 PM
They're all beautiful, but my favorites are the one with the gathered peplums. And I love your shorter haircut, I think it really shows up your eyes. You may have had it for awhile and I didn't notice.
9/18/06 0:07 AM
Thanks for all the compliments!! The waist tie makes a lot of difference, doesn't it? I would never have tried that style on my own, but now I may be putting it on all my shirts. :-)
9/18/06 11:07 AM
All of your shirts are terrific...and so very different. beautiful job!
9/19/06 2:04 AM
Beautiful!! All look fabulous on you. You have done a wonderful job with all your changes. My favorite is variation 3. It looks very pretty!
9/29/06 9:08 PM
You'd never think they're all from one pattern! A nice collection of looks and a nice presentation.
9/29/06 9:35 PM
I adore vs. 3 - the whole outfit looks fabulous on you. You've done quite a wonderful job of coming up with so many versions. And hey! Rosie looks great, too! :)
9/29/06 9:56 PM
Wow - so many different types and styles of Irene. Love all of this. They look great on you.
9/29/06 11:22 PM
You've done a great job. You have picked very appropriate fabric for each look. They all look very different from one another because of the different details. They are very flattering and pretty and I'm sure your beautiful cat thinks so too!
9/29/06 11:26 PM
I can't tell who had more fun with this contest, you or sewshable1. You didn't mention if you had a favorite. I like the collarless blouses with the V-neck. I think that style is very flattering.
9/29/06 11:55 PM
Irene, they are all so lovely, but #4 variation made me stop and stare. I love it! If I wasn't on a pattern, fabric, everthing reduction, I'd order it tonight. Thanks for the detailed review. Viv
9/30/06 0:27 AM
Wow! You got lots of mileage out of that pattern. My favorite is the off-white and then there's that black & white one- cute, very cute! Give Rosie a good scratching from me.
9/30/06 6:24 AM
You've really been inventive with this pattern - lots of nice looks. Congrats!
9/30/06 7:41 AM
Such great variety with one pattern! Nice to see another New Hampshirite!
9/30/06 10:38 AM
Wow, what an inspiration. But I don't think I'll be showing my husband -- he needn't know that one can get an entire tops wardrobe from just a single pattern! He might start questioning my growing collection :o) They all look beautiful on you.
9/30/06 3:37 PM
Incredible mileage out of a single pattern! What an adorable kitty too.
9/30/06 4:41 PM
Congratulations on all that hard work - fab blouses!
10/1/06 6:14 PM
What a great top wardrobe you got from this! They look great. I'm completely impressed.
10/29/06 3:24 PM
Those are wonderful variations! How nice to have a whole new wardrobe flattering tops. I love the pic of the cat, it made me laugh that you included it.
10/30/06 8:50 PM
Rosie is beautiful, so are you and your garments. Thanks for the great information.
4/21/08 5:45 AM
Var 4 is by far my favorite. The fabric seems to be a great match for the pattern and the color and shape are very flattering on you.
