This is a Katherine Tilton pattern. I had been planning to make it for some time but was having trouble finding a combination of knits that I wanted to use.

I found this double faced cotton/rayon knit (dots on one side/stripes on the other at Joann's, and it was on sale. Yippee. it came in several colorways. (the fabric was available on their wesbite - didn't check availability today)

I prewashed/dryed and the fabric DID SHRINK, but I had purchased enough even with the shrinkage.

I cut the size M and ended up snugging in the side seams about 3/4" on each side.

I love the collar treatment. See closeup Here Sewing it was not so difficult, but a bit tedious with the double layer thicknesses.

Photo of back: Here

I do recommend thee pattern and plan to make it again when I find the right fabrics. I'm still searching.

So very cute. Love the choice of patterns and colors. Just what the designer must have had in mind. Thanks for responding to my question about your pants. That helps me in my fit. I hope I can look (almost) as svelte as you do in yours.
