I took this pic the other day but I made this a couple weeks ago. I'm in need of basic tops without them being tshirts soooooo, look out for more cute throw on tops lol.
Pattern Sizing: 8-14
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I've seen this top in various department stores and I wanted one lol. This pattern was an exact replica.
Fabric Used: Matte Jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't hem the sleeves. I just made sure they were cut even.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will make this one again in a couple different colors.
Conclusion: Great not so basic top.

Great top Adrienne! I know what you mean about needing the basic tops!

I have this in my sewing room in red… just waiting to be hemmed. Yours looks great. Love the fabric you used.

Ok… that pattern never really appealed to me (maybe I just gloss over those with no photos) but now I realize I am finishing up a dress that is almost exactly the same. That looks like a great breezey top for summer.

You have done this much more justice than the pattern envelope! It’s on the list.
manecoarse/ 14.05.2011
Wow. That top does look exactly like the ones you found in the stores. Love when that happens. Cute.

Michelle B/ 14.05.2011
That is adorable! You totally inspire me to sew more clothing! I’ve got to get that pattern!

I love this top too Adrienne! I made it last year August in a Hot Red Michael Kors Silk jersey. I’ve never made it again and don’t know why! It’s goregous in black too! Love your version and you’ve inspired me to pull out that pattern again!! Great Job and love your necklace!

Great top and I love the necklace you’re wearing with it too. I can’t believe you found so many versions of this top in the stores!

Love that top! Tops are something I need to make a lot of this summer.
Beth Conkwright/ 16.05.2011
Great basic top. It’s very flattering.
Colleen P./ 16.05.2011
That looks REALLY fantastic on you and that necklace is just simply perfect with it! I’ve got several knit tops cut out now, because I too have gotten tired of wearing unflattering tee shirts, and I think this one needs to be added to the list.
Roz/ 16.05.2011
This is very figure flattering. Glad you will make more!
TJ/ 17.05.2011

Kimberly/ 17.05.2011
Such a cute top. It’s very flattering on you. I’m definitely going to look for this pattern. I’ve seen the top in stores and was going to try to knock it off, but I love it when I don’t have to put in the effort.

Hold up – I have this pattern, but have yet to pull it out. I love yours, so I need to get going on mine.
Gotta love a copy cat, huh? lol. I say, imitation is the highest form of flattery, so consider yourself flattered by me. lol
Lynne/ 20.05.2011

Love the top! I also need some tops like that – exactly as you said – not T shirts, but something you can throw on and wear easily.
Debbie Bond/ 21.07.2011
What a great seamstress you are! It looks better than anything from the stores. I’m definitely going to buy this pattern for myself. You can make it for me, lol!
