Very nice!!! I've been looking for a pattern like this. I agree that the pattern photo looks terrible. Yours is much better.

I certainly agree the top in your photo is Waaaaay better than the pattern envelope! And, you are a much prettier model than the pattern photo. Beautiful smile! Thanks for the review -- great result with the top!

Fabulous top. Burda should hire you as a model.

Nice looking top! I just bought this pattern the other day and plan to make the sleeveless view this week hopefully.

With that figure, you should be a model. Very flattering top, beautiful job.

How many inches did you add to the sleeves? I haven't made the long sleeved version yet. I like the length of yours.

Beautiful job with the sweater knit. Do you have any special tips for this fabric? Did you serge it or use other finishing techniques? I wholeheartedly agree that you look like a model.

Your version is very nice -- I never thought of this in a sweater knit -- great idea!

Your version and you as a model are both better than the pattern! Burda should hire you as a model & stylist.

I added 3" to the sleeves. I didn't serge it, since it looks like it's not going to ravel and I don't have a serger, but if it does I'm going to stitch around the edges like th instructions for that new Miyake pattern, 2814.

Great top on you! I have made this top and everyone seems to like it. However. the shoulder seams are too small --they feel like they are going to drop off my shoulder -- i somehow managed to extended the shoulder seam. I think lingere guards on this top is must for me at least ( i'm US size 14).

Cute top, I was looking at this pattern - despite the pattern picture! I like the combination you used of the drape neck plus the sleeves. Pardon my concern, but you look like you need to eat a litle more!
