You are so brave to attempt this. And so nice to take time to provide guidance for anyone else who dares try! I often think these designs which have been translated from an original drape are rarely successful-after all every fabric is going to behave differently in terms of drape and stretch, and here the instructions sound appalling. So it's a pattern I'll avoid, but thank you for the helpful and entertaining review. The comment on Vogue's recommended techniques for knits is interesting - seems to come up a lot on PR. Are there other pattern companies that are more reliable?

Great outfit! Thanks for the comprehensive comments. I'm sure they'll be so helpful to anyone else who ventures into this pattern. Nice job - and perhaps you ought to be compensated by Vogue for your additional pictures & comments!

I tried this top and got so frustrated I gave up. Thank you for all the diagrams and instructions. I may just give it a shot again. Love the pattern finished and your version is beautiful.

Wow, what a fabulous outfit and a great, very helpful review, thanks so much! What did you think of the back neck closure as snaps? I'm thinking that button/loops might tive a neater look?

Amazing! Looks fantastic! A real tour de force!

LOVE IT! And great diagram but how scary is it that I will actually need a visual aid (and maybe a feline helper?) to make this one. But I want to! I even think I have a lightweight kniw in stash for it. Looks fantastic on you.

Sue Anfang - Loops might work better, but with a snug collar like this, I think anything's going to pull. I personally think the neatest look would be an invisible zipper and leave out the back slit, too (which just gapes), but I will do just about anything to avoid putting zippers into knits! With all the gathering plus my longish hair, I'm happy enough with the snaps.
