While I was working on something else, I pulled this lovely ITY Print that was a remnant from Carolyn's stash. I loved it. Honestly - I took horrible notes while I was making this - but here's what I remember: I made a tabbed short sleeve, v-neck with the curved, faced hem. I cut the length between the tee length and the tunic length - because that's what my fabric would allow. I used a black and white polka dot remnant for the neckband, sleeve tabs and hem facing.
While I love this top and how fluid it is - there are some things I could change in future versions.
While I didn't really need the sleeve tabs for the short sleeves, I added them to add more of the polka dots. I believe in the power of 3s when you are using an accent. This helped. Also, I love how the polka dot neckline looks lacey.
Here - you can see from the side view that the back rides higher than the front - so for future versions, I need to add some length to the back pieces so the hem hangs even.
And from the back view - I feel like I need a little bit of sway back adjustment.
I know I graded between sizes, but don't remember which sizes I used. The bust and sleeves are fine as are the waist, but the hips could use a bit more width. I have plans to make this curved hem version into a dress - I think it will be fun and comfy and fit right into the kitchen of the B&B.
