Blue rib knit Sadie. The fabric was my mother in law’s old stuff and therefore had fading in quite a few areas that I needed to cut around (I also wanted to cut a skirt out of the same yard of fabric). So I altered the top to have an Empire waist so I could cut around the fading.

I agree with MandyPandy; empire waist looks much better than original pattern!
