Pattern Description:
This is a review for view A.
A knit top with draped yoke and neckline. Great variation possibilites for sleeves and with the possibility to make the yoke and/or sleeves in an accent fabric. Pattern Sizing:
H5 6-14, R5 14-22 (32-49, 40-50 in European sizes)
I did a size 14.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, definitely.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, very clear. Pay special attention to the instruction when attaching the yoke.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It is a very flattering top which enhances the shoulder/bust area which makes the waist appear smaller (who doesn't want that?). I'm always looking for tops which covers the back of the neck but still gives a bit of cleavage. Now I have found one.
Fabric Used:
Two fabrics, one light to medium blue in 96 percent rayon and 4 percent lycra and an accent fabric in darker blue with some texture in 100 percent rayon.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Minor: I look in the side seams about 1 cm on each side.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Definitely. I'll make it in different fabric combinations and with different sleeve lengths for different seasons.
this top really suits you very well. Nice job!

Love the subtle contrast of the 2 fabrics. The top looks great on you!

Very clever. It looks like you're wearing a shrug over a cami. Great idea - it's extremely flattering on you.
