This should have been the last item for my mini wardrobe. Alas for the capri fail! This top turned out better!
Not perfect, but better! I think my FBA is a little low, so there is some extra space below the bust that is visually making the girls look lower than they are. Not my best look.
You can see it from the side as well. I'd try taking in a bit in the princess seam, but that sucker is topstitched.
A decent fit from the back, particularly in the shoulders. The yoke is quite nice for shaping there. I could stand to shave off a bit more in the waist, but that may exaggerate the problems in front, so maybe not. As the surgeons say - The enemy of good is better.
For piece #4 of the mini wardrobe, Mitch suggested that instead of the gauchos I make a long skirt from the heather grey ponte knit. I think it is a great idea! I'm going to use the yoga style waistband from the Butterick gaucho pattern and draft a basic A-line skirt in an ankle length. Thoughts, anyone?
