Breezy cotton tops are a staple for me since I do not wear t-shirts. I have a pattern similar to yours but with sleeves. It is nice to have the sun protection on the shoulders. As a thrifty option, I use men's dress shirts that I buy at a thrift store for $1-$2. If you buy a large or greater, it will give enough yardage to make a top like this, and those light weight cottons are so exquisite! I usually put the button down part in the back, and it gives little vents between the buttons where the wind can blow in - need all the extra cooling possible. Great pattern, and beautiful fabrics! Thanks for posting!

Then I marked the edges of the original pleat and use those as my stop/end points for gathering. It's a really simple alteration! :)angie.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575366388194033626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-55176104470076128232015-04-22T15:29:04.234-05:002015-04-22T15:29:04.234-05:00I know this an old post but I'd love to know h...I know this an old post but I'd love to know how you added gathers to this instead of the pleats.

Can't beat the combo of "pretty" and "casual" for summer wear! <br /><br />You've inspired me to give this top one more try. My "wearable muslin" is just okay, too short, and still needs fine-tuning (dart length and placement on the pattern is awful, IMO, and my tweaks didn't quite cure them or poor armscye fit). I think I'd like gathers more than the pleat, so am going to try your solution. <br /><br />Look forward to seeing your Violet top, too.Venus de Hilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424101811517659566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23435904.post-55082426986884414202012-05-06T11:20:39.555-05:002012-05-06T11:20:39.555-05:00What a great deal.
