I LOVE this. What a stand-out, but very wearble-looking top. I like the color, and how you made even more ruffles. Was the neckline binding easy to attach?

That looks so stunning on you! the ruffle is just perfect. Is that what passes for a messy room at your house?

A lovely top from a pattern I wouldn't have looked at twice. Great job!

Beautiful top! I've seen a lot of similar RTW ones, but had overlooked this pattern.

Really beautiful top, love the ruffles. How did you edge finish so beautifully their hems?

Squee! Thanks all you lovely commenters!! RachelEsq, the pattern itself gives instructions for a French Binding, which I would have used anyway. I actually prefer the technique as described in Claire Schaffer's "High Fashion Sewing Secrets" (which I have checked out perpetually from my local library). She give a little more detail than this pattern (namely, hand basting the bias tape down once it's attached and then stitching in the ditch vs. pinning it and stitching in the ditch -- small nuance, but made all the difference in the world to me and my skill level), and I always like that. I think it's super easy, and I am not a fan of binding. HawkeMorningStar7 - The ruffle piece is folded in half lengthwise and then attached, so the edge you see is the folded edge. I didn't finish the raw edge that's attached to the shirt, so who knows what'll happen when this goes in the wash, lol! I can send you some more pictures if you still have questions. :)
