Textiles Used: Neon yellow rayon challis from Vogue Fabrics
Sizing: I think I will go down one size next time. Mostly for the shoulders.
The Good: Great pattern. Great for beginners. I wore it once and received a lot of compliments on it. I think that the pleating is modern while still being a simple easy to wear top with skinnies.
The Bad: The only negative I can think of is that the instructions seemed to assume that you know a lot. They might be a bit too sparse for the new sewist.
Changes Made: none
Things I would change next time? I would go down one size. I think it would be fun to try color blocking on this pattern.
Conclusion: I highly recommend this pattern. Next time I think I will try it in a much more subtle fabric. I love the comfort and easy of the top.
That is a gorgeous top. I love the yellow against the black.
ReplyDeleteI meant to add, I ususally start with an UK 10 for tops and do a FBA or in Burda a 36. However looking at the measurements they have a Uk 10 down as 35" chest wich is 2 " bigger than normal . Did you use your regular size or base it on the measurements.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I adore the neon of the yellow with the black & white striped skirt. It's a wonderful top and a great outfit. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSimple but stunning! I love the color and your stripe skirt combo too!
ReplyDeleteLooks so rad. Great colour and good to see it with a few different looks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I think the unusual colour *makes* it.
