JEF said... My goodness, you put a lot of work into that top. It looks really nice now. I LOVE the fabric choice and I really like the interesting neck line. I'm very impressed with you for making the pattern work. 4/11/09 1:44 PM
LornaJay said... Wow. What a review! I think the top looks great under the denim jacket. 4/11/09 3:12 PM
emo said... This looks really nice on you, but I agree not too much like the pattern photo. I always have a very hard time with their patterns; your review is incredibly helpful! 4/11/09 3:26 PM

EleanorSews said... You certainly did a major effort to get this top to work! It looks quite nice now that you have worked your magic. Thanks for the alert. 4/11/09 5:23 PM
Annette1 said... You girls are SO cute! It looks like you had a GREAT TIME in Disneyland. I love this top, Louella. That neckline is really pretty on you. With your custom fitting finesse, this top is ultra flattering! 4/11/09 8:55 PM
Ody said... I don't know what you worked harder on, the blouse of the review. Great blouse in the end. 4/11/09 10:09 PM
Terri A said... What an amazing review! Wow! Thanks for including all those details! The sausage roll vs the patty thing had ME "rolling" LOL. My goodness, what a lot of work you did! Great job. 4/12/09 0:37 AM

prkj said... Since 'wow' is already taken, I'll say 'gee.' You did a lot to this pattern to get a result you liked. The directions sound unhelpful, but aside from the sausage vs. patty remark, I'm guessing you were being told to roll up the bodice inside the yoke pieces, stitch, and turn the shirt right side out. Connie Long describes this really well in her book on blouses and tops, but these directions read like the reason why the big 4 don't try this method. Nice job! 5/25/09 11:47 PM
