I was able to wear the Vogue top today and took a few photos of the finished garment. I really like this pattern and will make it again making some additional changes to the fit. It is a rather fitted through the waist and hips and I would like a little more room in that area so that when wearing over jeans as I did today it is not so form fitting. My biggest critic, DH, liked the top and thought it was slenderizing.
Here are photos of me wearing with jeans.

One thing of note, it is important to make sure you mark placement lines for front and back upper and lower pieces. I could have done a better job. I wanted to be able to work with the placement due to changes made in upper front and back pieces.
I followed the instructions for this pattern. Next time I think I will use my method of sewing front upper and lower pieces together first and the same for the back and then attach sleeves and sew side seams.
I am pleased with the outcome and the next one will be even better. I may not sew another one for awhile as I have so many other top patterns, including some TNT that I want to sew next.
