So, it's because of that small little side project that I haven't had a chance to write up a proper post until now for part two of my kimono top binge, the Burda Kimono Top:
Pattern: Burda 7866
Fabric: If you guess Vogue Fabric remnant room, you'd be correct! This is a very pretty, soft wine-colored knit. It's dressier than the t-shirt fabrics I normally pick up.
Size and Modifications: I cut a straight size 10. I've had this pattern cut out for a few years now, and I probably should go up a size, at least in the hips. Some day... I also left out the belt because I would just lose it anyway.
I promised my photographer extraordinaire, my husband, that I would include this action shot (even though I look like I'm missing an arm):
And the back:
It's really a simple, versatile pattern. Not too many bells and whistles, but a nice basic top that I know will end up in heavy rotation.
I really need to pick this pattern up, because I love this type of top. This wine color looks fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm really a fan of this pattern because it falls in that dressy yet still casual enough to wear everyday style that I love. And even better, it's super quick to make :)
DeleteI love the sleeves on this! The color is great and I think the fit looks good. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm a big fan of the sleeves and color also. I've stopped trying to fight the fact that half the things I make lately are this or a similar color. At least I'll always have pieces that go together!
