Love the gathered neck treatment. So sorry the top itself wasn't to your liking. Thanks for the tried-and-true tips!

Well, the color is beautiful and the top looks extremely well made. After your comments about the two-dimensional shape, I looked at the pattern photo, and you can kind of see the issues even on the model. It looks okay on her, but the top is starting to pull in such a way that I'd hesitate to try it for my shape. The neckline is a very pretty (and trendy)feature. Thanks for the informative review.

LOVE the neckline. Great review as usual. I couldn't use this pattern, I have the A bustline....but the abs are not flat!!!! lol Your finishing of the neckline is very well done!

I love how the neckline looks! Your work is perfect so I'm sure it's disappointing that you don't like the tee. Thank you for the great review. Wouldn't you know I just ordered this pattern yesterday.

Ugh. I just cut out what I hope to be a wearable muslin of this top. I'm using a fairly stretchy jersey, but your experiences with this are what I was afraid I'd run into from looking at the pattern pieces. We'll see how mine goes...

I LOVE that neckline. Since the pattern isn't great, maybe I'll try to figure out how to do that on a nicer shaped top.

That neckline is really pretty. Wouldn't it worth tranferring to the ottobre tee?

Great review, Belinda. The ruffle neckline is very appealing to me as well, but I will probably have the same fitting issues as you. At first look, I immediately added the pattern number to my wish list. I may still get it, but may use a front and back pattern. I'm always on the hunt for something different in knit tops. Thanks again for the excellent review.

Belinda. Love the top, too bad you didn't like it on you. I just bought this pattern. Unfortunately, you are one of the people whose reviews I follow as our body types are similar. I guess I will have to put this detail on a tried and true pattern. Thanks for the very helpful review.

Very interesting neckline; I can see why it interested you. Hope you are able to re-use that feature!

Beautiful job on that neckline. Too bad the pattern is not good for curves. I will take your suggestion & apply neckline to a better fitted top. Thanks!

Danvillegirl said...
Nice color! Your version turned out well. I am a DD and can appreciate your comments about the fit, yet I would only wear this under a jacket so I think that will cover the not so great looking top.

Nice thorough review. Very helpful, thank you. What a nice job you did on the ruffled neckline. Looks great.

I'm sorry you didn't like the results on your body, but obviously we're liking the results of your sewing skills! That neckline is *perfect*. You'll have to figure a way of doing that on a TNT pattern you might have.

Gorgeous neckline, and thanks for the heads up on the overall pattern quality. I'd love to see you put the neckline onto a different pattern and then review that! That part at least looks fabulous! I have a vintage rayon dress that uses a similar idea in a panel that goes around the neckline and all the way down both sides of a front bodice button placket...

love the neckline - guess we might see it morphed onto one of your TT top patterns. Thanks for the review
