Gorgeous little shell top, uses little fabric, beautiful curved shape

I wanted to use up some remnants of a lawn material that my mother had admired, in time for her birthday a few days later. I downloaded this pattern and sewed it up without needing to take long about it. It is intended for two different fabrics so that you can use up smaller pieces and that is what I did; it ended up absolutely gorgeous. The curves of the side and hem worked beautifully and it all looks so classy. The instructions made it straightforward but also because it is basically a simple quick sew I was able to concentrate on just sewing it as nicely as I could.

It does say it is a one-scissor difficulty level on the Liesl&Co site; I would say that to get the bias binding on the armholes as nice as possible does require some fiddling and benefits from having more sewing experience. If you are a newer dressmaker then it is still basically a simple sew but you might like to use pre-folded bias binding rather than using the pattern as written whereby you make a strip of the same fabric as the rest of the top.

Great pattern - Breezy Blouse

As more or less a beginner at dressmaking I enjoyed using this pattern and I'm very pleased with the result. The instructions are easy to follow, You Tube directing me where necessary. The top is neat enough over the hips but I am pear shaped so probably wouldnt be an issue for others. Thanks to The Fold Line for quick and personal service. I'm hoping to start a new project, I can't wait!

Flattering and cool

I've made this top once from the paper pattern and i really loved the results.
Positives:
-enclosed seams nearly everywhere
-the button loop closure could be omitted (at least around the 40" bust size) and tacked closed with a sew on button if desired
-gorgeous fit with enough seams to easily make adjustments
Cons (not really):
-I ended up with a closer fitting hip than i expected. It still works over jeans and skirts and tucks into a waistband beautifully BUT my fabric was a bit rumpled when cutting, so that result may well be of my own making
-All of the cutting layouts/meter estimates assume that you are using 2 fabrics. there is not an estimate and layout for using one fabric. it was not taxing to figure out, but it would have been a nice add-on.

I used a rayon challis for this, and it is so cool and gorgeous. Will be using this pattern again!
