Simple success

This is an excellent little V neck top.
I was initially drawn to the trousers, and I still am, but made up the top as I had some fine drapey knits in my stash that I had been searching for a suitable pattern for.
It is a simple pull-on v-neck top with long sleeves and waistband, designed for stretch knits only.
It is cropped, which is a new silhouette for me, and a ‘proper’ V neck. A proper V neck in that the neck band meets in the bottom of the V in a vertical seam.
I had always thought this was difficult to pull off successfully without a pucker at the bottom but the v neck neckband went in very easily, much to my surprise. The only thing I changed to the method was to use some iron-on tape before I stayed-stitched the ‘V’ in the main fabric. I think the trick is to be brave enough to snip right up to the V shaped stay stitching.
I made the size in accordance with bust measurement.
