Pattern Description:
This sleeveless top has a drape front neckline which drapes elegantly at the front, making this top perfect for a dinner out or for clubbing all night long!

But as well as being great for night time, this top is elegant and great for daytime at the office. Wear it with a skirt or trousers and maybe with a cardigan or blazer jacket to cover the arms. For night time it's great with jeans and heels - and a ton of bracelets!

Pattern Sizing:
The pattern is a pdf pattern and does not include seam allowances. WIth this in mind the sizing is good.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes it did.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
I think the longest I pondered a step was 6 mins. But then I just followed exactly what it says and it worked out great!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love how quick it is to make! From downloading the pattern to wearing it was under 2 hours even with taping it together!
Fabric Used:
spotty jersey fabric
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I took the waist in half an inch on each side and cut the pattern pices a little longer as this is my preference but was not necessary.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I already have. it is super quick. Great for beginners as you use knit fabric and do not have to finish the seams or worry about fit too much.
Conclusion:
super fast and super chic top! highly recommend!
