I am not usually that big on sewing clothes for myself - I am always hypercritical of the result and what looks good on the pattern and in my head does not always end up looking great on the bod.
But I have been wanting to make this since I first saw the pattern and fabric.
And no I didn't suddenly get lovely legs like the model on the pattern but I was pleased with the result and can see this pattern being something I would make again.
Before I talk about the pattern - I would just like to say the marks in the photo are not from a dirty wall or mirror but an old mirror in the bathroom - I do sometimes do housework!
The pattern went together well. I would make the placket slightly shorter (maybe an inch) there is slightly more cleavage than I would want showing in this top.
Also I would recommend you take your time with the bias binding on the neckline and buy a bias tape maker. I rushed mine because I could see the finish in sight and I could have done a better job.
The Nani Iro is a double gauze and is beautiful to wear and washes like a dream. I have used it before for a top for Miss M and it looks as good as when it was made :). The trick is to iron it before you sew as it can move on you when cutting. Plus if you make a mistake it is a pig to unpick, not that I would know :0).
I hope you had a great weekend.
