Great design but needs some alterations
Bought this pattern to get back into sewing and wanted to make something on trend for my 19yr old daughter.
For my 1st attempt I'm really pleased with the end result (top B) but when i make it again i will alter the pattern.
1) the fold facing is too short, it was really visible when my daughter wore the top and finished in the middle of her breast. Needed to be 3" longer at least!
2) the armhole binding i will make into a halterneck & not attach to the back sections. It's crucial to get the length right, if not you are unpicking a lot of work.
3) A loop turner is essential to use on this pattern if you make tops B & C
