I can't get your pics to come up-- which makes me sad, because the teeny tiny thumbnail looks so pretty!

These look as though they would be great - but i can't see your linked photos either - it says "pvhrf.yahoo.com cannot be found". Can you fix this? I woud really like to see the two different tops.

I can't see a larger version of your picture, but your thumbnail looks great! This one is on my to-do pile too!

Would love to see the pictures! Do you have any problems with the front wrap gaping at all?
2/8/07 5:20 AM
KrystalL said...
Okay, I fixed the pictures! Sorry about that. ;-) Kathleen, I fixed the gape in the front by handstitching the bodice together.

Okay, the pics work now. WOW!! They look like they'd sell right by the Nanette Lepore collection for $110 each. So beautiful. You did a wonderful job!

This is so adorable - you have the figure for this kind of thing - I used to many, many moons ago.

Yowza, Pirouette! You've a great eye for coordinating seemingly incompatible prints and texture. Can't wait to see your next project.

Your print combos really ***are*** amazing. Your fix for the back on the pink one looks fine - you're right...no one will even notice. Great tops!

I have that pattern also. After seeing your beautiful top I must try making it.

Linda G said...
Awesome top, I really like the crocheted look fabric, since I can sew better than crochet that really appeals to me because I like the look of crochet!!

Levone said...
Gorgeous tops! I really love your fabric combinations for these.
2/8/07 1:21 PM
OP Gal said...
Both tops are beautiful and you look lovely in them.

Very artistic looking! I really love how you mixed up the fabric patterns...very very special.

Addorable top, I love it!

Great-looking tops! You have a talent for beautifully combining colors and textures.

Love that top! Fantastic job!

Very nicely done. They look great on you.

I love your top!! The blue and brown colors are so flattering on you too.

onewhosows said...
Beautiful! You look lovely in this. The crocheted stuff DOES set off the under fabric. The back is simply part of your clever design!

KathleenS said...
Thanks for the reply - and I love your tops - I envy your obvious talent for choosing fabric combinations.

cmarie12 said...
Love both versions of your tops! Can't wait to see the long sleeve version.
2/10/07 10:38 AM
AnneM said...
Great tops. They look superb on you. I particulalry like the crocheted version w/ the multi-color contrast. What a cute style. I should adapt some of the features to a top that is less trendy (since I'm so slow at sewing, it will be out of style by the time I get to it).

Wow, you are a knockout! Fantastic job on this top!

Absolutely wonderful rendition of the pattern!

I love it too! What about adding some of those sliders (like on bra straps) to your straps before sewing them? I completely agree with your dislike of how they have suggested the straps be attached.

Well 5 years later, your tops are beautiful and thanks for linking the French seam tip - I've never done one!

Wow, I just bought this pattern and luckily it's great for today's sheer fabrics. Your top looks so beautiful with the crocheted fabric on top. That was brilliant!
