cindyann said... I can see why it's a new favorite. The one reason I don't have this pattern is it's lack of sleeves. Now I see that shouldn't stop me. Love your version. 11/4/09 8:36 AM

Michele Lommasson said... I very much enjoyed your review. This pattern looks like a real winner; I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to buy it on the way home from work. I liked the addition of the sleeve, loved your fabric choice and enjoyed the well written description of your process. Thanks! 11/4/09 9:20 AM

Seriously, great job AS USUAL! 11/27/09 11:03 AM
Aixoise said... You certainly achieved a great fit with your personalized alterations. This is a lovely, wearable top. 11/27/09 1:32 PM
Katharine in BXL said... You look great! Lovely colour too. I love this top with sleeves, good on you for drafting your own. I borrowed sleeves from the KS wrap top pattern that has roughly the same number, so it came out around the same time. Lovely that the pivot and slide tech worked so well for you. How did you decide how much to add? I altered the conventional way, pivoting the dart along the neckline, then fiddled with the upper front length. It took a while. Congrats on figuring it out so fast! Wish you had been by my side when I sewed it! 11/28/09 2:36 AM
Sew4Fun said... Katharine, for the FBA I just used my "usual amount". The same as I need for nearly all knit top patterns. 11/28/09 3:27 AM
glenj said... I tried to buy this pattern today because of your recommendation ,but it is now out of print 11/28/09 5:46 AM
yummymummy38 said... Like all 3 versions, Belinda. I have been taken to Frou Frou by my sis, yummy fabrics! Have you tried 06-2005-110? It is a woven BWOF top that some have made into knit tops and similarly has a bias lower front eased onto the bust. (v similar side view as your top) It may be more of a look for girls who need bust enhancement as it has gathers there. 11/29/09 7:19 AM
Another good one Belinda.
