This is another top I ripped off shamelessly from the Boden catalog. (Boden's version at left) Again, I found a close-enough-to-the-shape pattern during a 99-cent sale at JoAnn's, then scoured my stash for two prints that went together relatively well. The upper piece is a purple with tiny white dots-- fabric that was once a kitchen curtain. The bottom is some vintage stuff from a garage sale, I think.
(This is the pattern I used-- Butterick 3385. I picked version "C" version shown in green in the lower right)
Mimicking the Boden shirt, I used contrasting bias tape on the neck and sleeves, but after wearing the shirt, I decided to turn it to the inside and topstitch it under. I like this one enough that I made another version in "good" fabric after tweaking the pattern a little, but it turned out too small. Sadly, I had to give it away.I did not try to mimic the Boden model pose in this picture. I'm just naturally elegant.
