Re Becca said... I am sorry that you don't like it, I think that it looks good, esp that fabric. It looks warm and cozy, but thanks for the heads up on the poochy back. 12/16/08 9:04 PM

fuzzygalore said... You don't have a dowager hump, but neither does the pattern. What you do have is square shoulders, and the upper-neck folds that form in consequence are more visible here both because of the fitted neck and the heavier fabric. I bet you have them in many other things, although perhaps you have learned to go for styles where they show less. Good idea not to line the bodice with more fleece though, and this does look very good on you. 12/17/08 6:37 AM

Leslie in Austin said... Aww... come on Patti. Your top looks great on you and super cozy. I've made a few tops from this pattern and they're my go-to tops for cold weather super casual. In fact, it's my top du jour! Thanks for sharing your experience though. Great tip for the upper bodice lining! 12/17/08 7:53 PM
