Tops in action


So, here are the tops on a real body, as you requested.
Excuse the creases in the pic above, but I'm sitting on the wall. The top fits nicely. I realized the placement of the flowers on the front is not that obvious. The only thing I would change is the length. Maybe shorten it about 10 cm. The hem gets to my largest part, which is never a good thing, hehe.


The boatneck fits perfectly. I lowered the back side in case I wanted to wear the back as the front, also because of the flower placement. All in all, I think this is the best of all the tops I made.



The gray top also fits well. After all the changes. If you want to sew this model make sure you measure the pattern pieces before cutting. I don't know, maybe it was the weight of the knit, but when I put it together the first time it really looked tent-like. Big and heavy. I'm curious to see some other versions.

I hope this little review helped! Have a nice creative sewing time you all!
Ciao!
Barbara
