This top was way too balloony with the band at the bottom, so I ended up cutting off an inch or so (more in the front and the back) and sewing the band back on. It's not great now, but it's better.
Plus, I added cuffs to the sleeves that are meant to look like the cuffs on the JJ blouse. It's much cuter than elastic!

super cute!!! I'd love a how-to!
JJ has really thorough instructions for the sleeve cuffs -- just find the pattern for her blouse in the pattern section! Mine aren't as nice as hers; I followed her instructions in a general, haphazard way as is, unfortunately, my sewing style.
I second the request for a how-to!! This is lovely!
very, very cute! you did a great job with alterations as it looks terrific on you.
it's really beautiful, with a great color choice.
I really love this top, it's on my to do list. By the way, the instruction was made by Burda company. I couldn't take the credit.
cuteness; love the volume.
