Sometimes you just have to sew what you want, you know.
The pattern is Vogue 8699. It is a basic top with shoulder princess seams and an attached cowl neck. The view I made is hip length with 3/4 sleeves. The cowl really is just an oversized turtleneck. This is one of the "Custom Fit" patterns with cup sizes, so I didn't have to do an FBA (YAY!). It made this a super quick project. The top is simple and quick to sew, and fits nicely thanks to the princess seaming. With a band in place of the cowl, I also can see using this as a basic scoop neck top. I think this year I am going to make more of an effort to sew up all of the Vogue patterns I am always buying. They are always well drafted and have nice details.
The color is a bit of a departure from the norm for me, so I was a bit surprised at how well it coordinates with much of my wardrobe, including the denim skirt I just made! Here I am wearing it with a pair of RTW slinky knit pants.
