This is a very cute top and especially nice in that vibrant grape color.

Your top turned out cute. I especially like the sleeves. It looks like you dropped a few pounds.

Your top looks so nice. As a broad shouldered girl, I wouldn't choose this top for myself with all of the gathers adding to my width, but that's my issue. I do see what you mean about the sleeves staying up.

It looks really cute, and I love the fabric. Too bad about the shoulders, as that will make it not as much fun to wear.

Thank you for telling us about the issues with this pattern - strange the shoulders are so broad. It does look absolutely lovely on you, but I know how an issue like shoulder slippage will spoil your love for a garment :/

I too think this is a cute pattern and have, but have not worked with it yet. I am plus size so the shoulder problem may not be a problem for me, but will have to really check that out with a muslin. I was thinking for you, maybe you could add a bra strap fastener so that the shoulder would stay put with the strap?????

Too bad this was so much trouble! I like the big sleeves on you.
