ETA (11/22/09) - After wearing this top all day, the neckline was troublesome. It tends to slouch down and gap open. The problem seems to stem from the back neck, which is fairly large. I took in an inch at the back neck and now it doesn't gap! It lays nice and flat like the pattern drawing.

ETA (11/25/09) I finally got a picture of it on. Here it is!

Pattern Description: Knit tops with princess seams and stitched hems. A: sleeveless armholes with bias tape finish. B: cowl collar neckline with below elbow length sleeves. C: scoop neckline with bias tape finish.

Pattern Sizing:8-22 I sewed a 10.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Pretty much

For more pics and info, please see my blog - Kadiddlehopper

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes. I love Vogue instructions. I nearly always learn something from them.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the style. The princess seaming made for an excellent fit. I love the partial wrap front, which also can be folded down for a shawl collar-like effect. It is very polished looking.

Fabric Used: Cotton jersey cut from a sheet

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made view A, but with the sleeves from view B. Since the side panels are the same for all three shirts. the sleeves are interchangeable, which is nice. I also did a 1 inch FBA. As I've been wearing it, I think that I may also need to take an inch or two out of the back neck.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I love it! I will definitely sew it again. I love all of the views.

Conclusion: This is a great pattern for a nice looking knit top. Perfect for a work or play wardrobe.

marec	11/20/09	That is so pretty! I love your very stylish top. I've made this top also and wonder if you could comment on something: the collar at the neck seems awkward on me and I have to fuss to keep the facings inside. It seems big too. Did you find this?

kidmd	11/20/09	Thanks! marec - I've been wearing it all day today, and although I haven't had any trouble with the facings, I do think the back collar is too large, which makes the neckline gap open a bit. I think I may take it in an inch or two and see if that helps.
