McCall's 7191 Semi-fitted, pullover tops have self -lined yoke back, back hemline variations, and narrow hem. View C has shaped hemline and gathered back.
Fabric: Ivory crepe with chiffon
Instead of using the facings, white lightweight blouse lining was used as an underlining on the front and upper back. White chiffon was doubled, gathered. and serged at the hemline. Both front and back were turned and topstitched 1/4 inch.
I did topstitch the front with crème thread and the back chiffon with white thread.
I need to check reviews and see if anyone mentioned lowering the bust darts or is everything 60 as it need to be lowered and I will not tell how much as I'm embarrassed.
Pants: McCall's 6247 with not alterations
Fabric: Purple/Burn Umber/Multi Textured Medallions Print ITY Knit from Fabric Mart.
I did go back and lower the pant legs by 1 inch.
All three grandchildren will return for another week on tomorrow. Let's pick up the pace!

Cute top. Love the design.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSuch a lovely top! Love the back and the V-neck. Nice job! Wish you a great time with your grand children :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! The kids are here and I'm squeezing in some blogging.
DeleteThat's a really on trend top - I love it, nice plain classic front and a surprise back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I purchased an interesting pant pattern that I want to wear this top with.
DeleteI love, love, love that top. Definitely adding it to my Pinterest. It's the back that grabbed my attention. I struggle with side darts too. Depending on the style and fabric used, I usually omit them or substitute princess seams.

DeleteThank you for the comment and I'll try your method on the next one.
DeleteLOVE that top and it looks nice on you! I'm trying not to buy more patterns for a while, but this one is major tempting!
ReplyDeleteI had to try it as Hobby Lobby had a $1.99 sale.
DeleteBeautiful flowing top, perfect outfit for date night with hubby!
ReplyDeleteYes, I try to keep something new to wear when out with him.
DeleteDorothy, this out fit is adorable. I love, love that top.. I WANT that pattern.. Never noticed it before. thanks for sharing this make..
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the week with your grandkids.
Judy, maybe you'll get the pattern and make something interesting. I've just gotten home with them and put them to bed. I need to go and sleep fast as my day could start early.
DeleteI absolutely love the interesting details on the back of this top! It looks wonderful on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I could see you in the other versions.
DeletePretty top. Love the back detailing.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The back is what I like most about it as well. It's good to know that chiffon also comes in prints.
DeleteLove the cute top. And it's a basic that you can wear with almost anything.
DeleteThank you! Being a basic will challenge me to wear it with a few special pieces. I have plans for this top since it's interesting in the back, I have a pant pattern that's interesting in the front.
DeleteThis is great - this pattern totally wasn't on my radar until now! Such a cool top.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was still smooth sailing with the addition of the lining!
