Jodi B. said... Thanks for reviewing this. I've made this before and like the adjustments you've made for the twist with a fuller bust. I'll have to try it out. 11/7/06 10:42 PM
MelissaB in WA said... It looks so lovely on you Belinda! Glad your muslin turned out to be a wearable one, that is alway a bonus in my opinion. :-) 11/7/06 10:44 PM
Debbie Cook said... I'm so happy to see you finally make this -- it looks GREAT, as I knew it would. Yep, toldja so. LOL! 11/7/06 10:44 PM
LiZ said... Belinda, Your muslin looks great. I have made this and agree about the extra waist shaping and also that its one of those patterns that need a body ibside to look right. 11/7/06 10:57 PM
luvzdogz said... Wow, that's some muslin! This is beautiful as it doesn't have that homemade look - it looks like an expensive ready to wear - I love the color! 11/7/06 11:17 PM
flynn37 said... As soon as I clicked on the picture, I was struck by how flattering this top is. I usually (sorry, ladies) don't love the way it looks, at least on larger-busted gals. Too much emphasis where it's not needed. You have discovered the secret to a flattering, modern look! 11/7/06 11:39 PM
KiwiWendy said... Such a great top - I love the smaller higher twist. A huge improvement. And your forward shoulder alteration for the sleeve is so obvious once I saw it. Much easier for me to understand than anything else I've seen. 11/7/06 11:50 PM
lynny said... Belinda thanks for your great review. The top looks great on you, love the colour. I think I will have to make this again with the higher twist I like it. 11/8/06 1:28 AM
Elona said... Great-looking top, and what cool alterations! 11/8/06 1:35 AM
Stephanie C. said... Wow, that looks wonderful. The top really highlights your beautiful necklace, too. 11/8/06 1:53 AM

BeckyC said... Very nice twist top! The fit is great. I've done the sleeve alteration like you did and it works great! Thanks for all the great tips. 11/8/06 8:33 AM

SouthernStitch said... I've made this twice and thought the same thing - too much twist. Thank you so much for showing your alterations - this looks great! 11/8/06 9:32 AM
sewingcybermom said... Can't wait to try this! 11/8/06 9:48 AM

Lori V said... Belinda, great job on stash reduction. I can see why you have many aqua tops, they look fantastic on you. 2/25/07 11:02 PM
ryan's mom said... Great top! I have the Simplicity version and am looking forward to making it. 2/28/07 7:08 AM
Miss Fairchild said... This was an excellent review, not that I want to make the top, but that you used a tip found here on PR that I've been curious about...the sleeve alteration. Also, your tip on using a box to move the armhole down is great. It's easier for me to understand that way and I'll be using it as well. I use a box in the upper armhole to drop the front and raise the back shoulder seams for my rolled shoulders. Great review! I'll be looking for more by you. 3/6/07 8:13 AM
