I have this pattern but haven't sewn it yet. Turned out really cute for your muslin and the back closure looks great. I am anxious to sew it up!

I (sort of) looked at this pattern but am also not a ruffle person and was unsure of the bib effect. I really like your version and really always like your pattern and fabric choices. It's always educational to read your reviews, thanks. You are a prolific sewist and I'll remain in your dust.

This is such a pretty top. Your back closure looks perfect! I really like the fabric you used especially with the ruffles.

I love your fabric choice! Takes the "sweetness" out of the ruffle just enough . . .

that looks so nice & summery! I'm not a ruffles person either, but this one isn't over the top & looks reall ynice on you. As usual, you've made something I would love to wear myself!

I like your version of this top. My attempt of this view was a disaster. After reading how you did the neckline with bias trim, if I had thought of that, perhaps my blouse would have been wearable. Folding it over as instructed did as you thought would happen. After reading this review, I may give this a try again as I really like the look of this pattern.

I am definitely not a ruffle person, except in moments of lunacy, but doing them in stripes seems like a perfect compromise. Lovely sewing job, too. You are so inspirational to me in the way you put your outfits together. How do you make it look so effortless? Great top.

Another non-ruffle person here. weighing in to say I love it! It looks fantastic and the whole outfit oozes that casual, un-fussy style you're becoming known for on this site.

I just sewed a muslin of this yesterday and I completely agree with your comment about the ruffles. This review is so timely because I am contemplating adding the facings or binding the neckline. Thank you for a detailed review. Your top turned out lovely!

Everyone is making such lovely tops out of this pattern. I'll have to give it a closer look, even though I'm not a ruffles gal either. I just love the way you cut the ruffles on the bias. Sweet and simple. Lovely top!

Cute and clever style! I like your pairing of the ruffles and stripes.

Great job with this pattern. Nice choice of fabric and thanks for the suggestion about finishing neckline.

This looks really cute! I am definitely not a ruffle person, but I do really like what you've done with this-you should be proud of your button closure-it looks perfect :D and I like the bias-finished neckline. Looks professional and kind of tames the ruffles a bit, lol.
