In any case, thank you for the inspiration this time, Sally <br />https://sarsaparillasal.blogspot.comSallyhttp://sarsaparillasal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-67319601186017933302015-11-20T07:19:24.422+00:002015-11-20T07:19:24.422+00:00Beautiful job, I love reading your finishing techn...Beautiful job, I love reading your finishing techniques.magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683334679520535250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-34719512831838921792015-11-18T10:54:17.925+00:002015-11-18T10:54:17.925+00:00This looks beautiful!

I personally think the wide neckline complements the flowy, longer style of the top, however it does look like taking a bit out of the center and decreasing the length from the waistline to hem would be nice adjustments for you! I'm towards the petite side and those seem like the changes I would make for me if sewing this pattern:)ammarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01114023703057065298noreply@blogger.com
