Just love this pattern, super easy to sew, instructions were clear and it fits lovely. I can see myself making a ton of these...fabulous top for work. First pattern bought but I will be definitely buying more!
I love the fit right out of the envelope! t
The directions are very easy to follow. I don't normally bother with notches, but I'm glad I did on this one. I made the version with no ruching, but Im glad that the ruching is only in the outer piece (less bulk)
I really like that there is a grid on the pattern pieces as well (to make any pattern adjustments easier)
I would have liked there to be layers and a chart for what pages to print for different pieces/versions.
This was my first time trying Cashmerette , but it won't be my last (i.e. the hype is totally deserved)
My second dartmouth top this time with 3/4 length sleeves vey flattering for my big tummy hides it well
This was an easy pattern to follow. My first time sewing stretch fabric. Pleased with result
