What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This is a really great pattern that could be easily adapted to create many different looks.
Fabric Used:I used a cheap poly knit that was a bit thin for this top. I need to wear a camisole under it.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made the medium. I found that the hem band was too loose so I shortened it by 2.5". Also, the neckline was way too wide on me. I increased the width of the neck band by 2" to try and bring the neckline in. This sort of worked but I think I should have made the neckband shorter as well, so that it would sit better. I shortened the length of the top by 3/4".
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will definitely sew this pattern again and I do recommend that you give it a try.
Conclusion: I love the shape of this top. Really suits my figure, and it is so easy to sew, and it's free. What's not to like? More photos Click here
