A review of I AM Patterns Joy Top

This is one of those patterns that will probably become a wardrobe staple. Weirdly I struggled to find many English speaking reviews or blogs online for the pattern which suggests it’s a hidden gem.

I made some alterations to the pattern after toiling. I shortened the bodice by 4″ but in reality, I probably need to add an inch back on. I also made the neckline slightly less “boat-like” so that my bra straps won’t be on show.

I’d love to make a full length sleeve one next and maybe switch the gathered shoulder to a pleat. There are quite a few options with this one.

I made my top from a lovely viscose so it drapes well and feels lovely on.

Definitely recommend you giving it a go if you want a basic top with a few nice details.
