The top is McCall's 6752, view A. I love the style and shape of the top and dig the zipper detail. The kimono sleeves seemed like a great fit for the fabric as well (less stripe matching!). The fabric is a 100% polyester jersey knit from Fabric.com.
I cut a size 16. My only alteration was to lengthen the bodice 1.5".
The instructions were very straightforward. I did add a couple steps (as I have been wont to do lately with knits):
- Used knit stay tap along the back neck edge.
- Stabilized the shoulders with nylon stay tape.
I attempted to match the stripes on either side of the zipper. It kind of worked. I particularly love the zipper detail. It is something just a little different and it gives the top a bit of edge. I dig it! I can totally see myself making this top again at some point.
The skirt I've paired the top with here is Kwik Sew 3765, which I made back in 2012. Love this skirt!
Chevron sparkle, FTW!!!
