I found this top pattern at Jalie:
I thought this would be a fun, everyday type top. Folks I picked a size, cut it out, and sewed it up. I suppose technically it is my muslin. I used a super soft black/white plaid that I found in the Walmart precut section. It is probably a polyester. Here are the results:
Big and boxy does not mean it will fit. This pattern proves that but I will wear this top regardless. Fit issues that I can immediately see:
- full bust adjustment (photo 1, 2, 4) I would just add length at the bust level a quand ease it in.
- round back adjustment (photo 3)
Now, I am going to put it out that it could be a balance issue and that taking a tuck approximating where I would normally add length in the back might work as well.
Another observation, I forgot to measure the sleeve width. It is a little narrow for me but not uncomfortable. If I make this again, I will definitely add width all the way to the sleeve hem.
Overall, this is a quick easy pattern. By the way, the fabric really is a plaid. I can not figure out why the pictures look funny. It does not look like the photos.
Happy Stitching!
