Great top. I love your coworker's comment, and your initial reaction cracked me up. It definitely does not look homemade and your coworker is on to you!!

Lovely in the sweater knit. I've only made this pattern once, but was considering reprising it for another go 'round. The sweater knit is quite tempting. It appears that the bands are made from the same sweater knit. Was this a problem at all? Was there any problem with the knit unraveling when you stretched the band? Elaine

So nice with the striped sweater knit and perfect fit!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments, folks. I really am becoming proud of the stufff I'm sewing. Elaine, yes, the bands are out of the same sweater knit. I didn't have a problem with the endsraveling, but I serged everything, so the bands got sergered twice: once to create the bands and once to attach them to the front pieces.

I just finished one of these for myself after. I love the fit and how the wrap lies on the body. I love your sweater version ...

Your sweater is beautiful. It looks as if it was purchased at a swanky boutique! Congrats on your fab project!

Very sophisticated. I like the stripe and the color. You got the fit perfect too.

Thanks for your review. I was put off the top seeing the skinny little sleeves on their model, but it looks great on you and I can see it could be made to work for me as well. Thanks

Love the last comment (homemade). I have had a similar experience.

I think this top looks really lovely on you. It is extremely flattering.

I love the top and I tried to make it a yr. ago and the sleeves were so tight and gave up making them right. I would like to try again and reading the reviews for the umpteeth time! Could you explain where you added the 1/2 " to side seam under the arm? I can't quite get it.Did you add 1/2" to the front and back side seams tapering out at the very top of side seam like the last inch or so? I'm having a cloudy day, I guess!!

dregan, I don't have my modifications in front of me, but I think I just added 1/4" to both the front and back side seams from the top down about 3". This probably did loosen the bust a little, so if you don't need any there, it would probably be best to do only the top 1" or so. Make any sense?
