Full disclosure: this was a pattern a received as a pattern test and it's the first pattern of my co-editor at the Sewcialists (and all round awesome person) Becky. You might not feel that I would be super objective on this pattern because I love Becky, but she lives on the other side of the world and I still wore this to work today because I LOVE IT.
This is the Ione Top from Workhorse Patterns.
It's quite amazing how different this looks in the morning versus the afternoon/early evening light!
I really like the curved "hi-low" hem on this top. It's a really nice shape at the hem.
I would also like to call out that this top goes up to a size 32 (US). That's bloody brilliant.
WELL DONE FRIEND!
Size: 18
Adjustments:
Like it? Wearing it? YES and YES! I wore it work today and it is comfortable and flattering and just the right sort of vibe for my work. I will more than likely make another :)
Notes for next time: Just to remember to make the straight 18 - I cut the 20 graded to an 18 for the test version and I prefer the result of this version

This top is version 2: the v-neck. I left off the sleeve cuff as my pattern is somewhat busy, but I might still go back and add it I think...
