* KateS - my apologies ... a little hiccup at my end. They should be all OK now.

Yep can see them now- am glad as this is a lovely top! Adding the ties has given it a real "wow" factor. Beautiful work and fantastic choice of fabric- a definate inspiration!

This pattern jumped at me when it came out but it not until I read your review that I am inspired to make it! I love the addition of ties. I might have to steal that idea. Thanks so much.

I love the one with the tie in front. It gives it a real updated look. The satin fabric is fabulous.

Gorgeous. I plan to make it out of Duppioni, do you think that would work?

Oh! Such a pretty top! I love it!

Your top is lovely. Thanks for the tip about the zipper not being needed. I can't wait to see the movie!

Very clever photographing yourself next to a poster of a movie many of us are dying to see! And that blouse is fabulous.

Both tops turned out wonderful! I like the addition of the tie.

Great top! I have this pattern near the top of my to-do list so your review is timely. (We seem to like the same patterns.) Thanks for the tip about leaving the zipper out. I wondered about that.

This top worked out beautifully for you, it looks especially pretty in the satin. I have looked at this pattern so many times in the catalogue, but forget it until I see it made up. You fitting advice and ties may get me to finally buy it! You look great in the publicity shot!!!

Great top Vonne!

Fabric is fabulous! The ties make this blouse. That was a fantastic change on your part. I can see that it would have been a very loose blouse without them. It looks stunning on you. Great job!

Gorgeous top, Vonne. I love the fabric you have chosen for this style. Very,very nice!

Well, Miss Molly is looking lovely in her new blouse, but not nearly so lovely as you are! BOTH of these blouses have turned out wonderfully. Great idea to add the ties, too. :o)

As usual, your work is perfection. I love the fabric, the pleats, the tie in front--I also like how the movie poster picks up the colors in your top. How very thoughtful of them!

The ties are a good addition. Beautiful top on you. The fabric is lively and so summury. It is fun to think about summer in the north hemisphere when snow is falling on the city. Superb !
