Pattern Description:
asymmetric top, have a look at the Burda Website, first picture: http://www.burdastyle.de/aktuelles/news/burda-plus-f-s-2012-sexy-summer-plus_aid_3994.html
Pattern Sizing:
plus size, 44-54, something like 14 or 16 til 24. I made a 44
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I think so
Were the instructions easy to follow? yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like asymmetric patterns, and this one is asymmetric. It's a fun looking piece, with it's different sleeves. It is a bit awkward to wear though, it's pulling a little at the shoulders when I move my arms, even though it's pretty big on me.
Fabric Used: a soft and wobbly wool felt
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I might have shortened it a bit, I'm not quite sure though.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? In fact I already have sewn it again, in a thin (lightweight) jeans-like cotton, after all, the tiring pattern tracing has to pay off.  )
Conclusion:
I wear this one as a pullover with a shirt underneath, rather than as a single top. I quite like the look of it and it is real easy to sew. It's a fun-thing with jeans, but it does look pretty good with dressy pants as well.

I saw this one and went looking for a download version. No luck so I may have to find the magazine. I love these sort of tops for summer . Your idea of a sweater type garment is inspiring.

Great top! Love the colour. I hadn't seen this pattern before and I like it a lot. What a good idea to make it up in a boiled wool, it must be very cosy. If it pulls, can you undo a seam for a bit, even if that leaves a n open slit? That would not matter with a pullover type top. I think a silk would also be lovely for summer.

Hi, rivergum. Thanks for your tip. It's a pain to undo the stitching on this boiled wool fabric, :-)) but I'll try what you said when sewing it again, which I most likely will in a light summer version. @moushka, if I get someone to take a photo of me, I'll add it.
