Since I wasn't too jazzed about my
last wrap front top, I approached
this one with a little trepidation, but I think it was more successful!
I'm not looking my best in these pics, so you'll have to pardon the headless shots. This top is Jalie's criss cross nursing top made from a nylon Tactel knit from Fabric.com. I definitely am happier with the fit here, although it isn't perfect. All I did was cut the criss cross panels to my full bust and the rest of the pattern pieces based on my high bust. Other than some minor gapping on the lower edge of the wrap section, which I noticed that several other full-busted reviewers on PR had, the fit is good!
Here is the gapping I was talking about. It looks like I'm raising my arm, but I'm not. That is the way it lays with my arms down. You can also see that the side seam pulls a bit to the front. I think this in inevitable if the criss cross panels are going to be snug across the chest.
Here is the other side, which lies quite flat and nice. I'm pretty close to the same size on both sides, so I'm not sure how to account for the difference, but this was also noted by other reviewers on PR.
The back fits well and you can see the cool bell sleeves, which I really like. All in all, I think this one is a winner. I didn't take a picture of the nursing opening for you (because that would be weird), so you'll have to take my word that that aspect works quite well. For the next time, I may try to take a small wedge out of the wrap section where it gaps and see if that helps.
