A very attractive and eye catching style on you. I love how bias cut patterns drape so nicely.

WOW! This is such a flattering cut! You look wonderful in this silhouette! This is definitely the perfect summer top! Can't wait to see the others that you're going to make! Thank you for this great review!

Lovely top on you. It may not be your color choice, but it is flattering.

This is a good style for you. And I like the binding at the neckline; it kicks up the overall look a little.

That looks very nice! Smart idea to use bias and eliminate the zipper.

Cute top! I don't know that I'd have given this pattern much notice, but now I certainly will! Your top looks great on you and I agree, is great for your figure!

Cute top! I love the lines in it, too! (I think I actually have this pattern in my stash - I think I better move it to the front of my to-sew list).

The lines of this pattern are very flattering. And nice recycling job, I love it :-)

Great recycling and great way to experiment - thanks for drawing my attention to it in the message board, you can read my other comments there.

Great top on you! I just bought this pattern and some fabric to make the dress version so your review is extremely helpful! thanks!

This top is so pretty! I love the fabric and that you "upcycled" it. The fit looks wonderful and so flattering!

Smart ideas on recycling and simplifying as well as use of fabric on bias. This looks great on you, fits really well and will be a great riding top.

Wow, I just love how gorgeous this top looks on you!! Thanks for the great review. It is in my line up to make for this summer.

It looks great! You inspired me to go out and buy this pattern with version # 1. Did you leave the zipper off of version # 2 as well?

marec said...
tlmck3-yes, I left off the zipper on this one too. It is polyester and not cut on the bias, so getting it over my curves is tight. Once on, it's perfectly comfortable.

Well, this is just as cute as can be. I especially like that it doesn't require a knit. (I think knits can be hot in the summertime, at least around here.) It REALLY looks nice on you, although it's hard to imagine what WOULDN'T -- ha! I'm heading to The Black Hole right now, and see if I have this pattern. If I don't, then a trip to Wal-Mart is in order. Great review!

Hi this is a beautiful top, and I really like the binding at the neckline. I wondered if you used the facing also from the pattern or simply replaced it with the binding?
