This Dolman top from Jalie is a quick and easy make.
I think it works great in a stripe. Navy & white would give you a mariner's tee, but I prefer this fuschia bamboo jersey. I suspected that the bamboo would be difficult to use as a binding....I thought I'd give it one go....some of it caught under and some of it didn't, so I just cut through the binding so that it curled up.
I made a size U, which corresponds to my measurements, but I think it is too big for me, which is most unusual for Jalie....usually I find their patterns very close fitting and always think I should have gone up a size. The sleeves seem to be a much closer fit on the pattern models.
Looks great! Love the colour and style.
ReplyDeleteI like that top and the color as well. I've never heard of Jalie before and will give them a look-up. And I don't think it looks too big but I like things loose myself.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you going "South"?
What a shame it is too large. I have seen this pattern and since I love Jalie I am quite keen to order it.
ReplyDeleteI think being on the large side doesn't matter for this style. My daughter's pinch mine all the time.
ReplyDeleteI just saw a rtw that I want to replicate and this pattern would be perfect! You have great timing :) Love that raspberry color.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric - I don't mind the looser fit on you.
