Such a great make! I love seeing vintage patterns in a modern guise and this is such a great example. I confess I might have had trouble seeing the potential in this pattern and neckline, but seeing it made up and on you is such a good lesson to exercise my imagination. It’s lovely.

Lovely top with sweet collar. I checked out your other vintage tops on your blog and they are all gorgeous. I have some really interesting tops (patterns) from the 60’s. I need to dust them off and make a few I think.
