Burda 7594
I made this again using a neat textured knit from Stone Mt. & Daughter in Berkeley. The stripes are raised and puckery. I changed the cutting layout to vary the direction of the stripes, much like I did in my first version. I thought it would fit the same as the previous one but when I got it together and tried it on it looked awful. It was quite loose through the torso and really added bulk. Not a good look. Many inches were taken in at the side seams, maybe 4 - 5 altogether. I can wear it without the tee underneath once the weather warms up as I sewed the side seams up higher under the arms than the pattern indicates.

This looks great on you - I like the stripes
Love the skinny-fat stripes, and the way you've arranged them, and the fabric's colour scheme. You've made it a winner!
It turned out great in the end. The fabric is really pretty.
I just made this pattern too! I did the same as you and had the same problem as you! I took inches out as well. I don't know if it was my fabric, or too much ease in the pattern. I used a really heavy wool cable knit. It's cold and dank in London right now. Seeing your lighter version has inspired me to be on the look out for spring knits.
That is a terrific layering piece. It looks really nice on you too.
Very styling. I like it very much with the black under.
Love this top in this textured fabric! Keep those pics coming; you always inspired me with your sewing. Now, I must go run get this Burda Pattern...
