Great looking top! Love the sleeve detail and scoop neck! Thanks for the informative review.

Yay, what a happy outcome for just a yard! The blue print is so fresh & pretty, and the charms take it over the top.

How pretty! When the picture was coming up I first thought, "I like that ribbed neckline. Perfect width."

How cute!! I love that fabric, Gigi! Yours is *far* better than the pattern cover :o)

That top is so cute! I've been admiring this pattern for a while. I may have to make for me too. Thanks for the hint about the neckline and sizing.

How lovely - the charms are so pretty. You're right, it does look better than the pictures.

Lovely top and great looking fabric. So summery.

Looks great - love the poppies. Very cute sleeve treatment!

What cute sleeves! Love the color and flowers on the fabric too.

Gigi, your top is WAY better than the picture:) It looks like summer!

Your neckline is beautifully smooth, and complements the rest of the shirt style. Your shirt looks way better than that shown on the pattern envelope!

Very Cute! Your version is so much better than the pattern photo. Thanks for the FBA tip.

Gigi, if I ever become rich (and possibly famous) will you be my personal designer? Your stuff always looks so perfect and this shirt's no exception. I never would have chosen it by the pattern picture but yours is ready for hitting some upscale boutiques then having a picnic on the beach. Thank you for all your wonderful tips and inspiration!

Wow, another cute top. I love the fabric and your changes. I would have never picked that pattern, but I really like your version. When you add ribbing to a neck, how much shorter do you cut it than the neckline measurement? Thanks for the review!

Very, very cute! Much nicer than the pattern photo.

Great top! I love this style too...

Very cute summery top! You always make such perfect garments! I love it!

So pretty! And I envy that nice, smooth-looking neckline.

Thanks to your review, there will probably be a run on this pattern at local sewing stores! It's great, and I love what you did with the wide ribbing--I've made a number of very narrow ribbed necklines, but the wide treatment is quite chic. Will try it!

You guys are so sweet! Thanks for all of your positive comments. :-) Jemgirl, when I'm using self-fabric I generally cut my binding in a 3:4 ratio (real ribbing is usually cut 2:3) plus seam allowances. It does need to be tweaked a little depending on how much stretch the fabric has. HTH!

Isn't it fun when you find a pattern that reminds you are some favorite outfit from the past? And this only takes a yard - great selling point for such a fashionable top.
4/25/05 7:41 AM
Cute! I love your revised neckline.
4/25/05 7:49 AM
Great top! Can't add to what others have already said. It's so nice to see reviews by you again.
4/25/05 8:09 AM
Nice top! I just *love* that fabric! Your neckline is so much better than the original pattern.
4/25/05 8:30 AM
Gigi, when you make a FBA do you sew in a dart or do you ease the front side seam to the back? Have you ever illustrated/explained the pattern alterations you make? I think I have the same fitting problems you do. Thanks very much.
4/25/05 9:08 AM
sewwhat, I usually ease in the dart in a knit most of the time. Some fabrics, however, just don't ease well so I have to sew the dart. You might want to search in the Expert Forum where we've discussed these pattern alterations and how to make them. HTH!

Ah, nicely balanced top! Your neckline changes make it a winner. This style seems to be one that looks good on paper, like some of the draped necklines I've sewn up, only to be out of wack in real life!
4/25/05 10:24 AM
Yours are always the first reviews I look at. I hope one day I can sew as well as you! This is a really cute blouse. Your fabric selection is great for this pattern (as usual). : )

Not only is your top an inspiration (I just got this pattern!) but your observation about the relationship between face shape and neckline is pure genius. Always wondered why scoop necks make my narrow face look gaunt, now I get it! And I'll be thinking a lot more about such things thanks to your review.
