I changed the design somewhat. I added bands at the armhole and at the bottom,and lengthened the top 2 inches total. The bands are simple to create. At the arms, simply cut 2 inch wide lengths, and then make their length approximately 1/6 to 1/7 smaller than the opening. Stitch, then turn around the raw edge and secure. I did the same thing at the waist, but used a 3.5 inch wide length.
I'm making another version. The next one will be a silk woven, and in a smaller size. This size is just a bit large. The new version will be made just as the designer intended. It will not have bands added at the waist and armhole.

Barbara--I love this! Did you purchase this when you were here in April of 2008? I don't remember that particular fabric (I do remember the aqua animal print knits, though!).
Looking forward to seeing the silk woven version!
Terrific print and I love it with this beautiful pattern.
This is such a kewl and funky top that works just as well with jeans as it does with a suit!
Cute top! Great fabric. This style looks good on you
I like how the addition of the bands made this top more casual. You look great!
You wild, wild woman. What a great twist on a classic design!
Me encanta Barbara. Un tejido muy original que convierte el modelo en un "todo-terreno". Gracias y saludos.
