I like this top, but wish it was a little more fitted, I should have taken it in at the side seams.
I adore the snap fasteners, they were really easy to apply, so much faster even compared to the machine made automatic button holes.
I spent a lot of time laying out the pattern pieces over the fabric for the stripes to match.

I like using snap closures, but have trouble finding a brand of consistently good quality. In other words, sometimes they attach and sometimes the prongs bend the other way or the rivet just collapses in the applicator. Would you mind sharing the brand you use if you are pleased with it? Thanks and keep up the good work, smart to sew for yourself.
