New Look 6225
One thing my wardrobe was really lacking for spring/summer is work appropriate tops.
When Lincraft has a 40% off sale at the beginning of spring I snapped up a few pieces of lovely rayon and new New Look 6225 would be earmarked for one piece.
I played with layout for a while before giving up on any hopes of pattern matching and just ran the sleeves lengthwise. This was a necessity due to buying too little fabric. I rather like the resulting effect. What I don't like however, is the fit of this one. If I was to make another, I would need to alter the pattern . It tends to gape a bit at the back hip. I think I actually need to go down a size.
Matching stripes in rayon can be quite tricky. I like your top and the effect of running the stripes in the opposite direction on the sleeves. Maybe you could run the side seams in a little to reduce the excess width? I think it looks fine as it is though.
ReplyDeleteI may run it in if it bothers me too much.
