Absolutely in love with this!! I really like all the details you have added, especially the gusset. This is an idea I will definitely borrow from you. This top is beautiful.

Your gussets and darts add a lot to the simple design to make it more interesting. Great save.

I love your version of the top. Your changes make the design much more original and interesting.

I went to one of Linda Lee's trunk shows and saw several of her patterns made up for the show. However, I have not seen many posted reviews. I was intriqued by some of her designs and am so happy you posted this. I guess I'll have to buy! Thanks also for your "tips"!

What a lovely blouse! The color is fabulous and the neckline is beautiful.

I keep saying I have enough patterns, but with reviews like this I'm starting to yearn for more....especially nice with your changes!

Glad to hear it does run smaller than the pattern shows it to be and can judge from that point on,,, I LOVE your top and originally did not think this top was for me but now I will try it out of a silk first then a knit ( would probably resize w/ a knit??) LOVE the gussets and will probably borrow your ideas on my own Stella! Thanks for the inspirtation, b/c you really made this top even more outstanding w/ your changes! Good Sewing~

Thanks for the review! I have what is probably a stupid question-at what point in the construction process did you add the darts?

PattiinATL - not a stupid question at all. I had to go look! I added the sleeve darts before I hemmed the sleeves but after all of the other construction. I think it would be fine ti add the darts after all of the construction too, though.
