Since I have been retired for medical reasons, I swear I get much less done than I did when still working.

It drapes so lovely in front, but I too have the same issues with HotPatterns.

Like the other commenters, I think you should try a smaller size. I think it would look great with slim pants. I'd love to try it.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692255718087191913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924463228706507667.post-61884156086142255202012-12-13T14:32:24.354+11:002012-12-13T14:32:24.354+11:00Pity you don" t like the top.

But I think we all know if we are not comfortable in something we are not going to wear it and it will just take up space in the closet. Love that color on you by the way!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13203209499012976893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924463228706507667.post-87719463732087351182012-12-13T07:50:43.552+11:002012-12-13T07:50:43.552+11:00It's a shame you don't like the top Sharon...It's a shame you don't like the top Sharon. My first response when I saw the picture was - WOW - that looks great - what a lovely top. If you don't like it though - you won't feel good in it. Maybe you can work some of your fitting magic on it - it really does look lovely.

Comparing it to the pattern picture it is heaps bigger. The neckline is not a nice neat scoop and there is a LOT of extra fabric around the waist. But I think it has potential if you can be bothered/see past your disappointment. Can you try comparing the pattern lines to a tshirt you already have?RebeccaHowardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929389779938934748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924463228706507667.post-30624736033601065732012-12-13T01:16:49.645+11:002012-12-13T01:16:49.645+11:00I agree with everyone, the top looks lovely on you...I agree with everyone, the top looks lovely on you. In fact, I scrolled through before I read the post and really liked the top and was surprised that you don't care for it.

I've been eye-ing this pattern ever since my colleague wore a similar top (hers had a 3/4 sleeve but otherwise it was the exact same pattern) and then HP came up with a pattern for it.
