Isn't this a cute pattern? Especially view B in red? Well I thought so too. But, alas, it's not for me.
I love the look but I think you have to be 12 and skinny to wear it. LOL. Every now and then JoAnn's will have knits on sale really cheap. I purchased a couple of yards the last time out and used it to make up a muslin of view B.
I made up a size large which correlates to my usual size 16 up top.
Here is the result below on Ruby.
Granted, these are not colors I normally wear. I don't do green. Green makes olive skin turn yellow. But aside from the color of the cotton knit. Its awful. It looks like you're just wearing a sack. I modeled it for Alan he hated it too.
I tried looking up reviews on Patternreview but there weren't any. Like I said earlier, I cut the large. But the description of view B said "DEEP" neckline. I cut the medium. Ha! With this pattern you would have really raise the neckline several inches to keep from giving everyone a peep show whenever you bent over.
Ugh, this one goes on the donate pile.
I went looking through my patterns and found a couple to try for cute t-shirt so I should have some progress tomorrow.
Belinda, I see the younger women wearing these over their colored bras or T-tops. They are about a size Small or Xtra Small.
ReplyDeleteI think in a solid color and a size smaller it might be something you might like.
Thanks for the support Angie. Yeah I agree maybe a smaller size would be better, but frankly, I have so many patterns to try that I've already gone onto the next one. And it was much more successful.
