I have been on a bit of a sewing marathon. Sewing manly simple things, but things that I have wanted to do none the less. Also in order to make a dent into my fabric stash!
This is jalie 2910, cross over top. Although I am impressed with this pattern (the sizing is from kids to adults) I am not overly impressed with the way that it fits me. I dont think it is meant for awquard figure that is me. (meaning shallow shoulders, small back and big diameter)
I might try and adjust it so that the neck line is wider on my shoulders, and fit it so that the v sits lower on my chest. The shoulder seam is not meant to sit on my shoulders. I got a fright when the back arm hole was so much bigger than the front... but this is why!
Luckily I didnt try it on my favourite fabric. Only thing is that the green looks a little like the scrubs they wear in thetre at a hospital. Never mind. Its comfy and the front doubles over so it warm too.
Just as a follow up, the more I look at this picture and think about it the more I think that I will not make this pattern again. I wish to sell it and move on if anyone wants to try it for themselves. Its an easy pattern and as long as you are not a G cup then you would probably fit it fine.

I reckon if you wear that top with your jeans and a high waisted belt itd be pretty hot. Well done C it looks good :)
If I could be so bold-- I do not think it is the pattern cut that does not work. I think it could be very flattering actually. I think the cross over needs to not go past your waist line. I think the line that the crossover makes your eye follow is the issue. And the neckline needs to be a little lower. I think the other Jalie crossover top would work better. The shoulder drop on this one throws it off. For myself, I took that part off when I made this pattern. -- Try again. Don't give up on the pattern yet. :) Seriously.
Mmmm - curse of the big boobs strikes again, I feel the pain!
However, your hair looks great! I love that style.
Nice to put a face to the name :)
