Burda 7203- the Redemption

I took another whack at this Burda 7203 pattern with this cool 80s clown fabric. I do kinda like it but I think I would only make it again in a sheer fabric to wear over a tank. Since I usually avoid dolman sleeves I didn't realize how weird this top feels on. Or is that just me?

I did end up making this a size smaller than the last one (this is the 14) and did an small FBA on it as well. I also shorted it above the bust through the sleeves which also made the sleeves narrower, which I like.




 The darts on the back make it look like it has a yoke.
I'm putting the pattern in the drawer, not the garbage.  But I'm still not sure if I want to commit my beautiful chiffon to this pattern.

    I love your top - the fabric is so vibrant and it looks like the fit is great.

    Personally I think this top looks great on you and I love the colours in the fabric :)

    Looks nice on you. I wouldn't commit my precious fabric to a pattern either, until I'm crazy about the muslin.
