I used the Tara pattern and altered by changing the flutter sleeves to spaghetti straps and added extra fabric to the bust area for more coverage.

If you make one like this i recommend you lower the doily or add some fabric behind to hold it up since mine flops over slightly. Pin it in and try it on first before sewing to see how it sits.

this is wicked, having seen your tara top i want to make one in the exact some colour with the exact same lacey/doiley bit. Gonna go on ebay right now and buy some doileys! Not sure if my sewing will exactly be as neat as yours though :)

I have many vintage doilies just calling for this pattern. Beautiful job, and thank you.. for the inspiration :-)

What a pretty color, and the doily is a great touch.

It looks great with the lacy doily. I have been wondering how to alter the Tara too, because it looks so quick and easy, but a bit too revealing for me. Thanks Nikkishell.
