I always need to shorten sleeveless armholes with vogue and mccalls, they usually reveal way too much bra in that area.

Maybe I could find a convertible halter bra that would work. Hmmmm. A quest! I really love the back yoke, and your fabric is perfect.<br />Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235950571276425579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-88688786396254444522015-08-10T10:43:02.419-04:002015-08-10T10:43:02.419-04:00I love it when bloggers give alternative instructi...I love it when bloggers give alternative instructions.

I fell in love with the potential of the shirt. Thanks for the detailed description on how to achieve better finishes! The print is a great with this shirt!

I made two versions this summer but never had enough time to do the elaborate post it needed and now I see you have similar experiences I at least know I was not in the wrong about the shoulder construction (thought it might be me but Vogue not giving visuals in that part of the instructions might proof they knew it was not good).<br />In my second version I used facings on the inside (using a bit sheer cotton it was still visible as a special detail) and combined front and back armhole facing to one pattern piece. Remains a complicated pattern.Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187364244385056641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-49044223498785782062015-08-09T09:31:10.892-04:002015-08-09T09:31:10.892-04:00I fell in love with this top and purchased the pat...I fell in love with this top and purchased the pattern when it was released. However my skills aren't up to snuff yet so most likely it will be next summer by the time I get around to making it. I appreciate the steps you've laid out. Thanks.
