sewing for fun said... I have this one, not sewn yet. Yours is very cute. I like the lingerie elastic edge. I wonder if you cut the the neck elastic 2" shorter if you could snug up the neck gaping that way? It is a really cute top and it looks great on you. 8/15/11 10:26 PM

Lori V said... Your top is very cute, I hadn't noticed this pattern before. I would cut the elastic shorter and that will pull the neckline into the body. 8/15/11 11:13 PM

Aroura said... Very cute top, I hadn't ever noticed this pattern before either. Hope you get the neck fixed, but other than that, great looking top! 8/15/11 11:35 PM

Nan Kay said... Thanks for this review, I have been wanting to try this pattern, but always have a little trouble with New Look patterns being to big. Maybe I'll actually make a muslin!! Love your lace edging. 8/16/11 8:13 AM

sewbehind said... Beautiful top, Cindy. I wonder if the gaping is from your erect posture! Your top is really cute. 8/16/11 11:59 AM
ArtAttack said... It's adorable... hope you got the fit just the way you like it...forgive me, but I have never seen a Hanes Beefy-T with cute lace like that...but, then I've never seen a Hanes Beefy anything...so I must take your word, but I don't think you are a Hanes Beefy-T type of girl... 8/16/11 11:35 PM
Nancywin said... Love this top! I have the same problem in the back on most of my tops. How did you do a FBA on this with the curved seam? Did you need to lower that empire seam to accommodate extra fullness in the front? Great review!
