The pattern is Vogue 8323, View A, the sleeveless one to which I added the sleeves from the other two views.
The fabric is a polyester sweater knit.
The pattern is true to size. I made a size 12 and with my usual FBA, it fit well.
I added 2" to the length and I am satisfied with the change. I made this pattern before (here) and I knew I like a longer length in my tops.
The problem! The neckline is too high! I have to wear it folded down.In order to wear it like that I had to add a piece to the back facing.
I'd like to make the sleeveless version for summer and will have to modify the neckline.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Moving on to another project, I made a second Wrap like the green one I previously posted about here..
I had to add three little darts on the neckband and the ladies really liked that feature. The sweater knit I used had a great selvage which I cut off and sewed all around the sides. I love the result.
That's all for now.
I hope you found time to sew this weekend

The best thing about working with a pattern is that you can modify it to make it work for you...so I'm sure the summer version will be exactly what you want. Love both of the new pieces!

Your Vogue top is lovely. I watched the PeggySagers webcast when she was demonstrating the poncho wrap top thingiess. Love them. I want to make one in a sheer fabric. Maybe two.
I do love the v-neckline top. It will look great as a summer version. This is a great colour on you.
Simple and very cute. I love it!
It is informative post. Beautiful top accentuates your overall personality and makes you look more beautiful. I impressed by that.

Fold down the collar - what a great idea! Looks really nice on you. I made the sleeveless version quite awhile ago and keep meaning to make it again. Thanks for the inspiration.
I made the same Vogue top and also found the neckline to be too high in the back. Love yours in the gray.
This is one my favorite t-shirt and everything is perfect for this post. In this sleeveless one to which you added the sleeves from the other two views is really too good. I impressed by that.
