I found a "new to me" PDF pattern company that I wanted to try out a top pattern I liked. By their measurements I need a size 12. There was no way that I'm a size 12! NO WAY! But I thought what the heck, I'll give it a try with a muslin.
Guess what???? It fit!
I love the style of this top. It looks so cool and summer like. The only pattern changes that I needed were to take a 1/4" tuck on the crossover above the bust to fit it a little closer to my body and lengthen the sleeves 1". I am just amazed at how great this top turned out.

I had a Large scale floral print rayon challis fabric from FabricMartFabrics.com that I thought would make a beautiful version.

I'm happy with the Wardrobe By Me Hera Summer Top and will be checking into their website more often to see what else they have that I may like.
Until next time..................

OMG really pretty! And you apparently have no idea how small you are getting. I'm so excited for you.
ReplyDeleteI like the color of your top. I like purple myself. My fav color. Intersting way to make something with a usual simplicity pattern. Thanks for commenting on my blog. I am feeling better each day thankfully!! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI like both versions; my favorite is the lovely print challis fabric! Very flattering style for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am also considering making this top, but I am not sure yet about the size. You experience is very helpful.
