How do you think this would look with a low bustline? I get the impression that this top (twist/foldover) would look better with an attached panty to keep it pulled down. 9/21/10 6:17 PM

Annette1 said... SUPER cute tees, although I hesitate to call them that, as they're much too nice to be called a mere t-shirt. :o) I had never noticed this pattern either -- UNTIL NOW! And I'm enjoying the video clip that you attached a link to right now. Great tops and great review! 9/21/10 9:50 PM
Terri A said... Nice top Sigrid! Your version looks lovely. 9/22/10 2:07 AM
GlobalMom said... Thanks for your comments about sizing. I've made other HotPatterns and had to sew them smaller than my measured "size" I've traced this one but not cut it out yet - will have to double check based on your feedback. I love how it looks! 9/22/10 7:12 AM

Diane333 said... Really loved your detailed and thoughtful review. Your 2 tops turned out beautifully. I really like the tops in the solid darker color and your daughter is very lucky to get both. 9/22/10 9:29 AM

katie lynne said... Very pretty top, and beautiful fabric, Sigrid. I, also, appreciate this terrific review with your insightful thoughts about this pattern. I hope you'll share your next 'version'.
Comment to 'goodworks1', what a great suggestion to maintain tucked-in wearing! This is what Donna Karan liberally promoted at one time. I think it makes good sense! 9/22/10 3:25 PM
Sigrid. said... Thanks for your nice comments ladies.
@goodworks1: this is a very good idea. Never done that but it would certainly help. Must consider it for next time. 9/23/10 5:13 PM
Lisabeth60 said... It is beautiful I think. I think it is amazing though that you call yourself "plus" size but your measurements are a size 12 with Hot Patterns? I'm a very beginner sewer - plus size- who finds a hard time finding patterns. Thanks for posting and sharing 9/28/10 7:45 PM
JDpenelope said... Excellent review and helpful, since I plan to make the cowl neck top. I might alter the sleeve to look more Jalie-like. Thanks for that comparison. Also, the fitting info is very helpful, since I have never made any garment by Hotpatterns yet. I did watch her video, too -- Otherwise, I'm not sure I would have figured out her instructions for the facing. 2/6/11 7:59 AM
