Great job! I’ve just made this top up too, but used the suggested lace for the top part. I wondered what it would look like in a more solid fabric and I am happy to see it looks great. Thanks for the inspiration!

Lovely! I’ve been dying to try this pattern, but couldn’t decide on fabric. However, yours is such great inspiration – it’s even cuter than the example! I love it.
