I used the tripod and timer to take these. I have to say I was wondering to myself what are the neighbors thinking seeing me do this. Oh well, if they are curious enough they will ask.

I love the fabric, a Nicole Miller design sold at JoAnn's; I like the top. It is a little wide in the neck area and would adjust that more so should I make this again. It is a boxy top with drop shoulder.
I think boxy tops are "okay" and work with slim pants or even a longer skirt; maybe even a more fitted short skirt. I don't wear them often.
This was to be an entry in the Pattern Review pattern from stash contest. I just could not get it completed in time.
I took a deeper seam in the under arm area and used 3/4 inch seams in the sides. I hemmed the bodice and sleeves using 1 1/2 inch hems.
After this little photo shoot, I cut out the sleeves for the ruffle neck tunic. That project will be completed by the weekend.
More later!
Very cute! Your fabric really makes this top shine. I also love the new blog layout!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann! It was time to change the blog layout.
DeleteVery nice. Love that print.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeletePretty! I love my tripod, since I live alone. It works great, right? So far no one has commented :-)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing with my camera is a remote; it does not support one. I do have a timer on mine which wells with tripod.
DeleteWonderful top Linda ♥ and the fabric is lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! The fabric is especially gorgeous and looks great.
