xela said... Great shirt! I've made the coat but never the top. After seeing yours I'm ready to cut it out. Thanks 11/12/04 8:16 AM
Skymom said... Looks perfect, Nikki. I've made this top in a heavy linen, which is now very faded and rumply, but I love it. Here's a tip that you probably figured out: there's no need to flare out to a larger size at the hem, even if your upper torso is smaller than your hip area. This shirt has so much ease that you could probably make it in a six! I wore mine as a maternity top and it still was generously proportioned. The pattern sketch that shows it tucked in is completely puzzling to me--I can't imagine ever tucking in something as voluminous as this! 11/12/04 8:53 AM
