Pattern Description: This sleeveless top has a drape front neckline which drapes elegantly at the front

Pattern Sizing: XS to XXL

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love drape neck tops and there is nothing I dislike about this pattern. There are just two pattern pieces. The fit is easy, fantastic and flattering. It's a very versatile top and I think I will make this multiple times. THe sleeves from Maria's other pattern Birgitte fit onto this top as well. That's smart pattern making.
The instructions are very clear and I found it very simple to put together. And it's such a great price!

Fabric Used: Cotton/poly striped knit.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Nothing.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes. I have two more planned this week. I can't recommend this highly enough as a great fitting, easy to sew top that can really be worn anywhere, depending on your fabric or accessories.
I experimented with sewing elastic onto a test piece of fabric to make sure my stitch width and length was suitable before making the top.

Conclusion: LOVE IT. My new favourite top!
