I LOVE this pattern! I made the vest, shirt and the shorts (much to cold to show those!) I had no problems with this really... FBA on the top and the vest. I used the corset like closures instead of buttons.. I normally do not like baggy loose fitting tops but this is really flattering with the vest! Here's the top with out the vest... still cute... but not as cute! I did make a mistake and use a interfacing that was to heavy for the collar... I should have use a lite fusible instead of med. I want more and more of the vests!!! and will defiantly make another shirt in a darker fabric. What I'm being paid to sew..... a Madonna costume tutu!!! Making tutu's is fun... I hope the lady having me make this will send me a pic of the entire outfit when her and her buddies go out! In the Crochet world..... From March Crochet! magazine.... Took about a week to crochet... I love open work tops like this... always have! Now I can make my own! I have to say this about crocheting.....
