Stylearc Ethel Top

Here is the Stylearc Ethel Designer Top to go with the previous pants.  I can't show it to you with the pants, because they are in the wash.





The fabric is a linen.  I think this top will get even better with wear, as the linen fades and the design details show up a little more.  

I made a couple of minor fitting changes, that are standard for me.  I have previously mentioned my tendency to rip tops with extended sleeves, with the rip originating under the arms.  In an attempt to prevent this, I added a tiny gusset out of a knit fabric.

What a lovely top! I've had this pattern on my 'To do' list for over a year so maybe now's the time to get on with it. It's lovely in the blue linen.

I’m curious whether that knit gusset helps over the long term; good idea. Nice job with fitting. I've seen some versions that don’t look too flattering, but this fits nicely around the shoulders.

One of my favourite colours so obviously I love this top!! This is the kind of simple looking top with interesting subtle details that Style Arc does so well.
