There is something about this pattern that said I needed to sew it up. I thought that the top would be very bra friendly, I only wear one type of bra so the clothes have to work with it. The pattern did not disappoint!

I used a piece of knit fabric from my stash for a muslin. The fit was good. Bra coverage was an A+. I did have to take in the side seams from bust to waist 3/4"! The top does need negative ease to fit properly. Girl M. said my top looked like a swimsuit! Uggghhh!

My second version was from an ITY panel fabric from FabricMartFabrics.com. I be creative with the pattern layout and I could have done it differently but overall I am happy.

This version didn't look as much as a swimsuit as the muslin. I love the top and it's very figure flattering and cool & comfortable. I'm thinking of making a version in black too. Not right away though.
I'm off to sew something new.................
Until next time...............

I like both tops. I have looked at this pattern previously but passed on it as I feel I would not wear it well! Your muslin looked like it was a good fit.
