Variable results

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.

Correct stretch is a must for a great fit.

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.

Dartmouth top

I have made the top several times for my daughter with plans to make several more. She is nursing her wee baby and it is perfect for this need. Thank you for the great sizing options because there is not much out there for buxom bodies.
You have helped me tremendously with my sewing skills and renewed the joy of creating something that fits!

Looks so professional and fit is perfect!

No one (even my sewing friends) could believe I made the shirt myself! I did the ruched sides and while it was a little fiddly putting in the elastic, the finished look was totally worth it! The neckband adds the perfect professional touch. The first attempt fit me perfectly without alterations, although I used a very stretchy jersey. I can't wait to make another one!
