Cashmerette Webster top

Today for you I have another top!  This time, I made the pattern shown below: 

Last summer, I made another one of Jenny's patterns and so love it!  In fact, I loved it so much, I purchased this pattern shortly afterwards.

Here's the first make from this designer: 

And, here's my dress!

I felt like the dress above fit perfectly.  I made the exact same size for the top I am about to show you and while I love my fabric, I'm just not sure about the fit.

See what I mean about the fabric?  I love it! 

The highlight of course is the back.  That's such a fun detail.

Couple of things that are great about this pattern--

No gaping at the armscyes.

The front is low, but not too low.

The length is great!

I love this with my RTW yellow pants.

The curved, longer back hem is nice as well. 

A fast sew.  I am just not entirely sold on the fit.  It's roomy, but maybe I am being too picky.

Thanks for reading!

Cashmerette Upton dress!

When I first saw this pattern, I knew it would be a winner!  The styling is so cute!  I simply had to make it! 

I made a size 12, the smallest size in this pattern range with the C/D cup.  I love how Jenny includes separate cup sizes for you.  This takes all the guess work out of making a garment fit properly!

Can I tell you how much I love this fabric?  I found it on clearance at Hobby Lobby.  It is actually upholstery fabric which is a choice that Jenny recommends for this dress. 

I was concerned it might stick out too far at the hips, but I don't think it does.

It seems to be the perfect weight for this dress.

I eliminated the bodice lining, raised the neckline an inch and a half and that's it.  To deal with the neckline and armscye finishes, I created matching bias tape.

I love how this fits and I really, really love my fabric!  Even though it is an upholstery, it is washable and it washed beautifully!  Can you see how there isn't any gaping at the arms? 

I see more of these dresses in my future!

Thanks for reading!
