Pattern Sizing:
I cut a size large. I am an A cup with high bust, and I can't wear this without a cami. If you have a full bust, this pattern may work better for you.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Not really - it looked more like a tent. So, I added a sash.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, they were very easy to follow. The pleats, and neckline were quite simple to sew up if you follow the instructions.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the sleeves & neckline of this pattern. I think if I had made a couple of sizes smaller & graded at the hip it might have been ok.
I shortened the sleeves because I didn't have enough fabric, but I think that worked well.
Fabric Used:
A Joanne fabrics poly charmeuse.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I'd have to buy another pattern to sew it again, and it is not that good looking on me so no, I would not sew it again.

Looking at your photo and the pretty fabric, your top looks very nice to me. I love the neckline, and the sash looks great too.

Nice top, I think this is very flattering on you! I have this pattern as well and was thinking of sewing it up as I like the pleats and the neckline detail. Thanks for your review!
