I saw the sleeves to the Syla Reine Top and fell in love! I was unsure what type of fabric to use or what size to start with. I used a 100% poly variegated french knit from my stash and purchased at Fabric Mart Fabrics. The fabric choice may not have been ideal for this top. It wanted to stretch out a little and was a bit scratchy too.
I had to grade between sizes. 14 shoulders/bust, 18 waist, 20 hips and 24 sleeve! I should have know this was not going to turn out too well!
The fabric neckband stretched out and looks wonky, I'm not a fan of the banding at the hips. One sleeve puffs funny, and it was a bit too boxy for me. Maybe I was just grumpy this day I sewed.
