It's been sat in my UFO box for a while now, but I picked up again on this top Wednesday night of this week and made it in an evening and wore it to work... but I still can't decide if I like it or not.
(please excuse the terrible photos, although they were taken outside in today's beautiful sun!)
I think I have to be very careful of having a ruffle like that on a top, as it feels like I'm (unnecessarily) accentuating my bust... Also the ruffle feels too big, and is definitely completely off centre.
So yeah, I can't decide if this one is a success or a failure.
However, either way I have one less UFO in my box now. Which is good as I really want to finish some stuff off before starting on anything new.
HIT - I bought a very similar top from REVIEW about 18 mths ago just like this - it was a sleevless/high neck top...um....halter stylish...and the pleats were IDENTICAL. It was a purple satin...but enough about my top! hahaha...I think it looks great, you just have to get use to the uneven pleats I guess.
ReplyDeletei don't think it's a failure, i think it looks cute. excellent summer wear!
ReplyDeleteeverything here in the states is currently covered in ruffles and has been for quite some time. it's almost ridiculous.
