Fabric: Silk Chiffon

Pattern Description:
Loose-fitting, pullover top or tunic has narrow hem. A, B: self-fabric or contrast tie, forming shoulder straps, tied at center front or shoulder and casings. C, D: gathered shoulders, elasticized, empire waistline. D: three-quarter length sleeves.
Pattern Sizing:

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, with the exception that I crossed the bodice for a bit of modesty.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Easy Pezzy!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really like the low cut bodice ~ even though in the end i chose to go the modest route.

Fabric Used:
silk chiffon, from Vogue Fabrics Chicago (one of many fabric road trip runs)

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
I modified an FBA enough so that the neckline would cross. My bust isn;t suited for the original low cut.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, its easy enough for all - and extra cute! I most certainly will make this again, probably with another chiffon. I like the breeziness it brings to the shirt.

Conclusion:
I like the results, even though the cut is way to low for me, I can see this looking even more awesome on someone with a smaller bust.




I also did a serger rolled edge for the hem and sleeve opening ~ time didn't permit me to do the arm hole properly
