Test wear of first project from Simple Modern Sewing

Ok, I wore the top today, all day. Here is what I noted:

• the sleeves sure stick out - whether because of me, the fabric or the pattern I don't know but I don't really like it
• the length covers the crotch and backside - no vlp to see - yipee
• stayed fastened all day
• very comfortable
• front view - good
• side view - makes me look fat and maybe pregnant (must change this urgently)
• has lots of design ease to allow for layering - perhaps if you know you are not a layering gal you can go down a size or expect to make adjustments eg. darts or extra pleat on back peplum and bodice
