This top was not as fitted as I like so I took measurements from a top I had purchased and took in the sides accordingly. The neckline was also larger than I would want for fall so I will make it smaller when I make this pattern again for future fall wear. I added a contrasting color to the sleeves and bottom of the garment and ruched it with narrow elastic. The top is made from fabric from JoAnn Fabrics and it feels wonderful on the skin and was fairly easy to sew. This pattern is simple and can be adapted many different ways.
