In an attempt to take the ideas of the last top (Butterick 5783) and make it more wearable I pulled this pattern back out and changed it a bit.
I haven't worn the last version of this top, much mainly because the ties tend to pull the back and side seam around towards the front if I do it up tight but if I don't do it up tight the neckline is too loose and I end up periously close to flashing strangers!
So for this version I sewed the wrap tie ends into the side seams and added the ties separately. I like the sleeves and the crossover a lot more on this one, but I think the back and length of the Butterick pattern was nicer. I have the new Vogue 8825 pattern to make up soon and it seens to be the best of both worlds! I'm not using a polyester knit again though, it always feels like I"m wearing a plastic bag

I do like this one a lot. Looks like it has great coverage and very flattering on you.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Suzy and the fit is great. What is a good replacement for the polyester knit? It looks good but I know what you mean about the feel of it.
ReplyDeleteHold the phone! A wrap top that doesn't gap? What form of witchery is this?! You look great and I must have this pattern!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I much prefer the upper portion of this Simplicity top. The lower half of the Butterick top, though, looks more like a peplum, I love that! It should be simple enough to franken the upper and lower portions of these patterns! Oh, and I LOVE that colour!
ReplyDeleteThis looks freaking awesome! I really like the fit on this. I think I need another pattern!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great color on u!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous top. I'm quite envious of your clearance table fabric. It looks like it sews and wears beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! And the colour looks so good on you!
