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?

beauturbo said... I really like it, I think it looks great. And just great on you. And what wonderful looking fabric. I do have that pattern, but have not made it up yet. I like the idea and the look of the cowl neckline set into the sleeve line of the raglan sleeves instead of not, on more regular inset sleeve tops, as that does make it more unusual in the drape of it that way and I do think that adds a lot to the look and drape of it there. Maybe you can just cheat and ease in the back neck hem a tiny bit with some clear elastic even just hand sewn into it under there or something like that? Thanks for mentioning that back neck line issue though, as I am going to watch out for that there now, when I go to sew it! 11/24/12 4:44 AM
