    That is one of the sweetest tops I’ve seen on this website! From the fabric you picked for the top bodice to the shape you created for the top… I really love it. Congratulations on your work.

    I traced out a pattern for the bodice based on a shirt I had… though the results came out entirely different. I am going to draft out another pattern, one that includes a zipper (this one does not have a zipper… so it is a little difficult to get into!). I took some simple measurements based on my size and then gathered the white fabric using a basting stitch. Overall I am pleased! Thanks for the comments. you can read more about my inspiration on my blog: www.meaniegreene.blogspot.com shelby g
