Em's Summer said... That is such a cute top and I really love the Betty Boop print you chose! I think it looks good on you even if you might feel more comfortable in a halter type style. Great review! 5/19/07 12:16 PM
cleandirty said... I think this turned out well, and is flattering on you.
If you have any hem allowance to speak of, I might try turning some of it down. I think a few inches on the bottom of this top would improve the proportions, since you plan to wear it with the waist tie. :) 5/19/07 3:17 PM
MelissaB in WA said... It looks really cute with the belt! Isn't it always so nice how the envelope pictures don't really depict the actual garment? I can't believe how long it was too - almost a dress for sure. Looks like you made a good save tho! :-) 5/20/07 0:24 AM

Helen near Sydney said... Heathersmom, I think this style suits you beautifully and you have chosen a lovely cool fabric to sew it. I definitely think you should make it again - play with the length a bit. 5/22/07 4:39 AM
AnneM said... Cute fabric. The neckline is cute. I agree that some other styles work better for you, though without the belt it would be ideal in hot weather. 5/31/07 5:38 PM
