RadarRadiance said... Very cute on you especially with your choice of fabric. Love the "no gap" neckline! Very cute. 4/2/12 4:04 PM
Dilliander said... Looks lovely Robin. i'd be interested to see how you raised the neckline, it's a great fit. Also congratulations on the StyleArc Robin Top, what a honour. 4/2/12 5:25 PM

Mary Heckman said... I think you did a great job. I was just looking at these patterns yesterday, but when I found out how much shipping was I stopped. Did you have to pay tons for shipping to the United States or did you find a local distributor? This company is new to me and I found many patterns I would love to try, especially the free pattern this month from Style Arc with purchase 4/3/12 7:08 AM
strongnow said... I would also be interested in how you raised the neckline. I like the StyleArc fit, but as a relative newcomer I need help with adjusting or restyling patterns. Thank you for this review. I look forward to your next review. 4/3/12 7:59 AM
Bonnie O said... Very cute top, Robin! 4/3/12 10:07 AM
Robin Denning said... Mary Heckman, yes the shipping is expensive, there is no way to sugar coat that fact. And they don't have any US distributors that I am aware of. But I got hooked when their pants pattern fit me with only a minor alteration.
Dillianfder and strongnow, I will post an update as soon as I have time to make a little tutorial.
thanks everyone!! 4/3/12 11:50 AM

Christas said... Really nice! I love your fabric choice, too. 4/6/12 7:15 AM
Dilliander said... Thanks for the update and tutorial Robin. I was happy with the neckline as drafted but find the weight of the pleats tends to lower it slightly when worn. I was thinking about using clear elastic to give some support to the neckline in my next top, but instead will try raising the neckline as you describe. The two I've made so far are staples in my wardrobe, its such a comfy top! 4/6/12 7:43 AM
