It should be easy to do a shortsleeved V-neck if the body of the pattern is the same for both necklines - just copy the sleeve length/shape across. 2/24/03 5:53 PM

Jules/Vancouver BC said... that's a very spiffy top, Mary - and I too really have a fondness for dolman sleeves (and the "batwing" variation that was popular in the 80s), so I'm glad to see them becoming fashionable again! 2/24/03 10:17 PM
Sew it seams said... Mary, you did a really nice job on that v-neck. You look so fresh and summery in your photo! I have a few "old" dolman sleeve patterns in my stash. You have inspired me to give them another try. 5/19/04 7:28 PM
MaryLynn in Long Beach said... Great work, Mary. I've made 2 dolman sleeve tops in the past 10 days, and intend to make more. Let's have a dolman sleeve contest...heehee 9/27/04 6:22 PM
