She basically pleated or draped the basic cowl neckline (using a brooch, buckle or permanent stitching) to extend the wearability of a cowl neckline. It was in Volume 19 No 12. Some of the changes looked brilliant. See if you can grab a copy and try them on your top - even though you top looks fine!!!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406164663751567997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-33013957803126570822011-10-19T06:08:18.763+11:002011-10-19T06:08:18.763+11:00I had a problem like a top I sewed long ago, the p...I had a problem like a top I sewed long ago, the problem was the web, in addition to light weight, it has to be very "thin" to be pretty drape ... your shirt does not look bad ..

Even if you don't end up wearing it, it's probably nice to know how the pattern fits so that you can make another version in the future. I think it's a nice style.MushyWearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298153126878457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611323651828889930.post-72714468863822827122011-10-18T23:48:09.139+11:002011-10-18T23:48:09.139+11:00It's hard to see the problem in a photograph w...It's hard to see the problem in a photograph when the fabric is dark and drape-y.
