Pattern Description: Misses top of various and drapey necklines and hem variants

Pattern Sizing: Misses

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Sure.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very much so- this only took one episode of Upstairs/Downstairs....cutting to finish.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I'm not thrilled with the lack of facing. I think this fabric would have liked the option. I'm not totally thrilled with my little hem of the back neck

Fabric Used: A stretchy, semi-sheer burnout

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none!!!

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Is there anyone left to recomend it to?

Conclusion: I look like a giant bordello divan, but hey, this is comfy and I really like the fabric/pattern combination. More velvety-nap pictures?

You do not look like like a giant bordello divan and I actually want to give this pattern a try. Thanks!

I like this on you, and think it works very well, not at all bordello divanish. The colour is good on you too.

I like your fabric choice for this pattern. I think your top looks great on you. How did I miss this pattern? Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Love your blog and very creative writing. You look terrific in this top and what a perfect garment to don for the Thanksgiving meal. I agree that usually a back neckline could use a little facing. Make it again. Divan? No way!
