We seem to be working in the same vein, again. Must be sisters in a past life. I like the alterations you've done and described esp since they make sense. I sew by the seat of my pants too much. Love that fabric and that trim. Too cute!

Debbie, this outfit looks great on you. I have to laugh, I just bought the same fabric at Joann's. I fell in love with it. I made KS 2694 out of it and made a long skirt in a perfect shade of turquoise to match. I will be posting it for my first review as soon as I get a picture of it. Love the panties, too! I just may have to make some. Thanks for the review.

Great job! I'm the same way in that I think and think and think before I do anything. I've been wondering how this style top would look on a full-busted gal; I think it looks great! I'll have to get this one for my stash.

Thanks for this review -- the trim is perfect on this top. I love the fabric and I think the overall effect is just terrific. A perfect look for Florida living.

Oh, oh, OH!!! I loveit!1 What a gorgeous outfit, Debbie! And God bless you for your wonderful instructions on how to do a FBA on a top like this :) I have been wanting this pattern but was afraid I could never figure out the adjustments~you described it perfectly, and now I think I might be able to pull it off :o) I will have to get some of that fabric, too. Thanks for an awesome review!

beautiful there really isn't much else to say your work and dress are great. I want some of this fabric. Maybe I will checkout Joann's again this weekend.

This looks fabulous on you: the fit appears to be perfect: all your alteration work really paid off. You're never going to be satisfied with RTW again. Thanks for the review.

Debbie, I love this style on you!

Thanks for the fantastic review and the excellent instructions on how you applied the FBA to this top! Those instruction will help with any similar top - not just this pattern.

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. I am NOT an alterations whiz (yet!!), so if I can do this, be assured that you can too! For me, the "trick" was using sewable tracing paper and putting the pieces together to create a "regular" shaped top and then doing the alterations. Looking at the pattern pieces alone was overwhelming to my non-whiz brain. Gigi, it was your review and comments that made the alterations all come together in my head, and reading about Deepika's unfortunate results told me what to look out for. So, even bad results are helpful! Oh, one more thing ... the fabric has 4-way stretch which I'm sure was helpful and the trim is also elastic, which I sewed on taut to avoid any potential gaping.

Debbie, I have avoided buying this pattern because I didn't know how it would look a full busted figure. Now I'm going to buy it. Great looking style on you.

Debbie you are doing great on pattern fitting and alteration. Helpful information you share. I have seen similar fabric at JoAnn's here in Roanoke but only one piece and not that shade, but yours made up so well may need to give it a try.

Debbie, I'm away from my computer for a week or so and you've done amazing things! You have such a sense of style and know what looks good on you. This outfit is fantastic.

Very pretty outfit Debbie. Love the fabric.

Ahhhh such an inspiration - as always (couldn't help but scroll through some of your other clothing pics and realise that I saw a familiar fabric - the white w/ pink/purple floral embroidered edge
