I'm just not sure I want to waste "good" fabric for this top.

It helps with fresh eyes, mine were bloodshot after three muslins!

I can't ...Bonnie - I admire your perseverance!! I can't find/develop a TNT button up shirt pattern either. You are so close in muslin #3. After a few days rest, pull it out again. You are far more than an expert seamstress in fit than I will ever be, so what I see from your photo is not meant to be critical whatsoever.....perhaps a smidgeon little bit more room across the apex area (or could that be unironed fabric?) and I don't know the method, but perhaps a little bit more tweaking of the fabric fold in bend of arm?? Don't give up - once you choose your final fabric without the green side panels I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Keep inspiring me - I appreciate your blog more than you know!

I will have to look into the Connie Crawford patterns, thank you!Bonnie @ sewplus.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963033371259192868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058105767010324032.post-80085796623292537952015-10-01T16:00:43.960-04:002015-10-01T16:00:43.960-04:00You're so close!

Either way is a better option than working on a project you're not feeling right now.

I do have blouse patterns that are highly recommended - just haven't settled down long enough to do a trial muslin. One is Butterick 5678. The other suggestion is Connie Crawford's plus size blouse patterns. She has a line of regular blouses according to size only and she has a line of tops and blouses according to cup and size. www.fashionpatterns.comRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688809657787883372noreply@blogger.com
