Originally I was going to use the fabric to make this dress from BWOF 05/05, but realised I preferred to have wider straps to avoid any underwear issues. I did try to redraft the pattern, but I wasn't happy with the results in a muslin and thought I could just use a different wrap jersey top instead which is where NL6729 came in as it has similar wrap front sections, but with covered shoulders.
However once I got going I decided I preferred to keep it as a top and I'm still not sure what to do with the skirt portion. I think the print is a bit busy to wear head to toe now that I have abandoned the strappy bodice. This was really quick to make though and will go with a lot of things already in my wardrobe.

My June BWOF came yesterday at last and I think I am going to make these pieces next in some co-ordinating fabrics if I can manage to stick to my plans for more than 5 minutes!
Great looking top.
ReplyDeleteLove the top!!!
ReplyDeleteove the skirts and that top
ReplyDeletei am planning to make that... maybe this weekend if I get the time
hopefully you can stay on board with your plan
Cute top in lovely fabric. The skirt with large bow is on my wish list too.
ReplyDeleteThe top came out beautifully! I liked those patterns also when my June issue finally came. My favorite is the skirt on the left with the side bow/tie.
ReplyDeleteThat top is really cute! I like those models from the June BWOF, too!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is just so appealing. Could you make the skirt section into a skirt and then on occasion wear it with the top as a dress? Or just as a skirt with a black or white tshirt?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful top!
ReplyDeleteYou've picked up my favorite models from the June BWOF issue!
