Peggy L said... Very nice. I have made this several times - make mine a little looser than the pattern calls for, too. 7/2/05 7:59 PM
drsue said... this looks really excellent on you. the color is great too. I have the same problem with the underarm flair on many patterns. 7/2/05 8:22 PM

inkyannie said... Ok, you guys have got to quit doing this to me. Another pattern that I have got to have. A very nice job, Irina and such a pretty color. 7/2/05 10:27 PM
MaryBeth said... Thanks for showing the muslin pic. I love this pattern and had made a few up in slinky that looked perfect. I was really surprised to find that the pattern didn't fit right when I made it up into an interlock polo shirt: The sleeve head and sleeve, too full and the front rode up quite a bit but that may be partly because I stitched a knit collar to the back seam, not removing the full sa. I tried the slinky tops back on and started noticing these details. I'll definitely cut the sleeves and armscye smaller if I do it again. The jury is still out on a FBA b/c of the collar application. 7/3/05 8:43 AM

Barbara at Cat Fur Studio said... Elegant result! I agree with your 'underarm' flare assessment -with a looser fitting garment, this can be too much. When seeking a tighter fit, the underarm 'flare' serves the design well. 7/3/05 7:27 PM
Alissa said... Beautiful! I've been reading reviews of the skirts from this pattern and it looks like a keeper all around. Thanks for the helpful info on the "flare". 7/6/05 5:35 PM
