I was not aware of New Looks Just4Knits line, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. This looks like a very useful pattern and I do love the gray stretch velvet.

I appreciate your candor, making this a very instructive review. The silver fabric is lusciously beautiful, but I agree with you that the sleeves don't work, at least not in this size and perhaps not in this fabric.

That fabric is so glam on you. The sleeves don't seem too 'poofy'...what about making them short sleeves!

Such a fun and gorgeous top on you! Please post your next version!

I think the sleeves would look great with a ITY knit but I'm digging the velvet!

I'm sorry you're not happy with it. I think it looks gorgeous--a really romantic style. I could use puffy sleeves like that since my shoulders are so darned narrow. I envy you gals with nice shoulders!

Your top is so pretty, and I love the color! Thanks for the tip about watching the amount of fabric stretch when choosing your size!

I love the sleeves and the velvet. How did you know to add to inches to the length at the top? It looks like it fits great there.

I love how your top turned out (and being a romantic I love the sleeves!). Gives me courage to try this one! I will probably lengthen the upper piece also.
