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
Great pattern. Looks nice. Fits well
This pattern has given variable results for me depending on the fabric. I've made three so far. Thick jersey with some spandex: fits fine. Viscose micro-rib: completely unwearable, too big. Thin viscose-blend jersey with some spandex: a little too big, wearable only with an undershirt. Anyway, when it works it looks great, and the pattern goes together well. Like many knit patterns it's just not very adaptable to different fabrics.
As I live in the country I had to buy my fabric on line so it was hard to test the stretch of the fabric. The first top I made went together really well. The instructions were clear and I had no trouble making the top BUT the stretch of the fabric was not what the pattern said so it was way too small. Not wanting to give up I ordered more fabric and the second one I made fitted me perfectly. A lesson learnt on buying the fabric with the correct stretch. Will definitely make another one or two.
