The pattern envelope said "Fast & Easy", no naturally something had to go wrong. In this case, the side front extended about 1 1/2" beyond the center front.
Normally, I would wonder if I accidentally cut two different sizes, but I was using the smallest one. I ended up laying the back onto the front and cutting off the excess. There was enough ease in the front to allow it to fit even after I removed the excess, but I'd still like to know what went wrong.
I love the top... except for the sleeves. They're kimono style, rather than set-in. It's not bad, but that style of sleeve is not my favorite. If I make this again, I'll make the sleeveless version and draft a sleeve to go onto it. At any rate, this is what I'll be wearing for lunch with the girls tomorrow.

I love your top! Especially like the fabric you chose for it. Congrats on finishing it off. :)
Your top is cute. I have that exact fabric to make a top using a McCalls pattern. Haven't cut it out yet.
Such a cute top and you picked a great pattern for that fabric (I have that pattern too)! Hope my top using the same fabric but different pattern turns out cute too!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
