2nd Go with JJ. This is the most painless pattern I’ve ever dealt with. I mean ZERO tears. AND it FITS. God where have I been!? I could have made a million JJs by now and be happy forever.
Also I tried making french seams, which was a success.
I have no idea what this fabric is. It came from Value Village. It was not, however, a curtain or tablecloth. Not that there's anything wrong with making clothes out of linens! :-) Buttons I got from an antique shop.

That’s such an amazing top. I can’t believe you claim you’re a novice sewer… that is REALLY professional looking. The fabric is so sweet and the buttons are gorgeous.

you care for details i can see! I love it. I like to see people care for details. And you look very happy in it. The french seam looks a bit like the englisch seam or have i seen wrong?

A beautiful JJ. One of my favourite patterns. I love the fabric and the buttons. I guess Spring is a long way off but at least you’ll be ready when it does arrive.
