This is such a fun top that I'm making several. This is the first one.Some are just for casual wear. This one is for a date with the Mr.
As you visit my blog, you'll notice repeats of this top and pants with different variations. Colorful pants using this pattern. Since I've made a couple of tops with this length, I've decided to hem the next tops about 2".

    I like your top--it's sparkly and glamorous! I like that the stripes are vertical, also.

      Thank you, Judy! I'm sorry the pattern wasn't in. Hopefully, you'll get it soon. I'll advise you to check the length before cutting. I do plan to make one shorter and I'd like to make it dress length.
