I like the Prima, too. In addition to the sweetheart neckline modification, maybe you could just try scooping it a bit so it's not so very straight across. I think it's a nice different look. Maybe it will just take DH a few wearings to get used to it. I know some of the things I've made that my husband scratched his head at at first, he ended up liking since they're something a little different.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08679998588660500127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595089853264619781.post-23538257200558897092010-06-07T03:09:52.265+01:002010-06-07T03:09:52.265+01:00I agree with Jenni on the Prima top.

Although, I like the neckline in front OK.<br /><br />And DH's can NEVER get past the fabric and see the pattern lines. Mine can't even understand that I make something in a different COLOR than what the envelope shows.BetsyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824251716471351275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595089853264619781.post-28353319351502580692010-06-07T01:42:30.321+01:002010-06-07T01:42:30.321+01:00I agree with Jenni that the neckline is too high o...I agree with Jenni that the neckline is too high on the first top, but the second looks very nice!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873478695914665795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595089853264619781.post-28342917228176436902010-06-06T17:01:30.760+01:002010-06-06T17:01:30.760+01:00The kwik sew knot front is looking good but as you...The kwik sew knot front is looking good but as you mention, does need a smidge more room across the front.<br />The Prima has potential. My gut feeling is that the straight part of the neckline is too high on you by at least an inch, possibly more. I would definitely try the elastic to make a sweetheart neckline. I have a Jalie pattern that is very like this, it has a strip of elastic sewn in the CF of the straight section, the elastic is shorter than the area it is sewn to, and is sewn going down vertically so it makes a ruched effect that has horizontal gathers whilst also pulling the straight section down into a sweetheart shape. I think it could be a flattering look on you if you persevere with the neckline though. It does look a tad tight over your shoulders too. Maybe trace out to a larger size just at the shrug part of the top? Perhaps keep the same size front section so you don't get gappage in the cleavage area?Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380047564035289054noreply@blogger.com
