Here are 3 different variations of the Amanda top, obviously I just love this pattern. With the original pattern I lengthened and reduced the width, plus I have 1 long tunnel casing attached to the neckline and I just insert thin elastic, some have beads to secure the ends of the elastic. At the bottom hem I use a waistband which is also another alteration to the original.
Thanks to my wonderful daughter for modeling.
