Hi Debbie, I would like to try this pattern, but the only thing which keeps me away from this pattern is the v neckline. I am a little uncomfortable in v-necks. If only this was round :-(

Deepika, you could change the neckline of the shell easily.

Deepika, Gigi is right the neckline could easily be changed to round, turtleneck or even cowl lneck

Just redraw the neckline and that's it? Does the neck have facings?

No facings, just turned in and stitched. You could even eliminate the CF seam by cutting on the fold.

Debbie, thanks for your review. Deepika, re: the v-neck, I understand the discomfort, but just for fun, why not try the pattern as is in a "pajama" knit and see how you feel? Then do all the wonderful suggested variations!

I love this pattern for it's classy look but it is a slim fit. It is designed for fabric that has a stretch in it and you better have some. It makes a nice 3/4 length sleeve jacket for summer. I substitute the tank top pattern for this top and like it much better. I made a skirt in a rayon and put an embroider on the jacket that looks like the print and it made a nice coordinated outfit. I am long waisted so I always add 2" in length to the jacket.
