Worn with Banana Republic skinny cargos; Guess Boots and clutch from The Limited. Bracelets from Aldo Shoes and Forever 21.
The instructions were really simple as the name suggests. But here is the thing: it's simple as in an experienced sewist can zoom right through this project. But I don't want to give the impression that a beginner would sew it as quickly.
I really like the sleeves and this top was perfect for our unseasonably low temps today. I didn't have to worry about the dolman/kimono sleeves bunching up in coat sleeves. That's my only concert with wearing a top like this during cold weather.
For the gathering in the sleeves I used clear elastic and I decided to not make the belt.
Dazzling. And as a sidenote, you have the most perfect skin
ReplyDeleteThank you Trudy!
ReplyDeleteThis a cute top and it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say the same thing as Trudy - gorgeous skin. You just glow, and not a line to be found. :-)
ReplyDeletePretty top. As for what to wear over it in colder weather - I guess you'll just have to make/buy a cape now.
I've really been enjoying your "What I'm Wearing" series.
Thanks Debbie! I was thinking a cape as well!
