milwaukee_kelly said... Really nice! Love the collar. 3/2/10 10:26 PM
Elona said... Patti, this top is really becoming to you (and I'm a lady who doesn't usually like SW patterns). The top is great as is, but if you wanted to bring that front hem in a bit, a teeny-weeny dart up from the hemline should do the trick.
Love your button choice! 3/2/10 10:48 PM
sew2little said... This is another winner, Patti. It looks great on you and the fabric is so Patti--and that's a good thing! Marci 3/2/10 11:50 PM
lilyofthevalley said... Oh Patti, I really L-I-K-E this blouse on you; it's so flattering and the shape so unique. I'm real sucker for a great polka dot fabric, and you've hit the mark on every single count. You look fabulous, Lily 3/3/10 0:06 AM

Lalena said... I don't think I've ever used the words "polka dots" & "elegant" in the same sentence, but you've done it with this elegant blouse! Also--very wise button choice. Nice job! 3/3/10 7:53 AM

RLL said... Ditto everyone else on the compliments. This is a head turner top. Simply gorgeous. I drooled over that fabric at the Atl. Sewing Show last March (coming again next week - yea!)but didn't get it. Oh well, I'm still mopping the tears. 3/3/10 11:05 AM
marthamyers said... Gorgeous result of a fabulous pattern. It looks perfect on you. It's so wonderful when the sewing is pure pleasure, isn't it? This is maybe my favorite pattern. I've made it twice but you've re-inspired me! Thanks. 3/3/10 12:19 PM

Harriet Rogers said... Patti: this is wonderful in every way: choice of fabric, the way it looks on you: very designer-looking. You've inspired me to finally make this pattern. 3/3/10 6:18 PM
grey ann said... This looks absolutely wonderful. I LOVE Brussels washer (have to have natural fibres) - where did you find this fabric with the embr dots? LOVE it. The shirt really does fit well and great choice of buttons to not detract from the fabric. Nice job. 3/3/10 7:41 PM
Modiste Madness said... Your photo reminded me how much I need to make this. You did a wonderful job on fabric selection and construction. 3/3/10 10:20 PM

carolynw said... Another winner with this pattern - OK Patti - you've sold me - going to get this pattern. Am particuarly interested in your remarks re your shoulders - think I have the same so may use a shoulder pad as I normally have to 4/17/10 10:21 AM
sew2little said... You are so smart! What a great knit top! 4/19/10 0:22 AM
Cultured Purl said... Patti~ I NEED to get this pattern, it looks SO SO good on you!! ( the original blouse and the knit!)
Ok I am officially back to sewing for only a few months and find I NEED to get patterns again?
The only thing I am worried about is the cost of the pattern and how many times one can make it ( vs a regular t top) Its pretty distinctive ,,, 5/15/10 11:02 AM
Cultured Purl said... SO SO SO pretty on you Patti!
I would raise my front higher ( when I get the pattern that is!) and wear little " Audrey) style cigarette pants or capri's with this for me~ I LOVE this pattern and you look wonderful! Very flattering pattern on you. Thanks for the review and the '" how to" to convert to a T top ( and extremely distinctive T top that is!) 5/15/10 11:05 AM
