Another attempt to sew up a woven top. This time I looked up the reviews prior to sewing and they were above average. Nothing negative though so I moved ahead to give this pattern a shot.

I chose to start with View "C" for the muslin/trial run. I like all the views and may try them all.
I had this soft woven border print in my stash forever and would not be sad if the pattern didn't work out. I cut out a size 18, tapering to a 22 at the hips and added 1/2" at the hip seam allowance. I used my own woven sleeve pattern.
The directions are good and the notches match up perfect. I liked the neck facing details and the neckline laid nicely. The hem finished beautifully too.
My only disappointment was that the top is too big. I am thinking of gifting the top to my Mom.
It's her color & her style.

I'm really liking this top so I've decided to try a size 16 and making the sleeve shorter/smaller. I have a few different versions in mind and I really want this pattern to work.
On Sundays Dear Hubby & I usually try to take a selfie (for my Mom). This one isn't too bad.
