Karla Kizer said... Sorry you went to all that trouble to put in a zipper. It's a darling top, and a very helpful review. And I love your hair! 8/19/08 8:28 AM

Stephenie said... I've had this top cut and half constructed for about 6-9 months now!! (same color as yours, too ;) I agree, the instructions are definitely quirky... It was the interesting pleats that sucked me in, also. Your review has inspired me to pull it out and give it a second look. Yours turned out beautifully! So glad I can omit the zipper! 8/19/08 10:13 AM

DorothyK said... Very cute top. My first reaction about the zipper was: why does there need to be a zipper? Then you confirmed that at the end. 8/19/08 11:58 AM

Lisa Laree said... Dorothy K, I wondered why, too, but since none of the previous reviewers said anything about leaving the zipper off, I thought perhaps the pleats made it fitted enough through the bust that the zipper was a good idea. Nope...not the case!
And thanks, everyone, for all the nice comments! ;) 8/19/08 5:55 PM

Natasha B said... Your top is fabulous and looks very designer. I love the pleats and everything seems really nicely made. I just wish I could try a Vogue average pattern - but not with quirky instructions! Thanks for a great review. 8/19/08 8:21 PM
Marji said... Yours came out really nice and looks cute. I made this same top for my sister, and I just realized I must not have reviewed it here. I ended up stitching down the entire pleats, to teh waistline, which gave her a better silhouette.
Enjoy wearing yours. 8/19/08 8:49 PM
