I had to scrimp a bit on the length and the underarms so this version is a bit tight across the bust plus the way the ombre pattern flowed means that the back and front are different colours, but as a layering piece it will do (I'm wearing it under the jacket in this post).
The small cowl adds a bit of detail, but the neckline sits quite high so it does not gape at all and it fits on the shoulder really well. This is a great basic that I will be making again - with the proper amount of fabric next time!
Grey front, brown back!
That side seam matching was a total fluke!
The instructions for the cowl give a nice finish on the inside.
Cute!!
ReplyDeleteThats a great little top.
ReplyDeleteYou look ready for a drink at a cool pub!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very chic - a useful addition to any wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I really like the fabric :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Allison. Nothing like a GREAT fitting cowl top - one that isn't too low in the front - which is usually the case with most patterns.
ReplyDeleteVery nice cowl top, like how it doesn't gape.
ReplyDeleteLittle wardrobe staples like this are a great find. It looks terrific under the jacket.
ReplyDeleteOh cool-good to see a cowl neck pattern with a non-gape-y neckline. Will keep this mind for the future, I like the style but the necklines on those can be a bit deep for my liking. This one looks just right though.
ReplyDeleteCute! You should totally make more of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern, and I think the different colours for the front/back is an excellent (though perhaps unplanned) fashion choice. I've seen a lot of such design features in tops lately. Love this!
ReplyDeleteGreat little top. I love the croc print too.
