| Just posted album pics of 2 new tops:
http://www.wildginger.com/forums/photos/photo-thumbnails.asp?albumi...
Purple one is made from same pattern as neon print top on p. 2 of album, but without the inset swoosh; it is 3rd version I have made, as my daughter loves kimono tees. The sleeve seems to lend itself to mild decoration at hem, in this case using a stencil from local paint store. White one is a knit top takeoff on Vogue 1327, which is for a woven dress. The twist came out much less bulky and therefore less interesting, but I still like the effect. The lower front had to be stayed with plastic memory wire to make it lie flat below the twist, the first time I've used the stuff. This may possibly irritate the wearer; I'll find out after I send it to her.
Has anybody made the StyleArc Dee knit top, with a twist or knot at the bottom? How does it work?

| Settings are as follows. They were calculated to come close to duplicating the fit of Marcy Tilton's Vogue pattern 8497, which my daughter found very comfortable.

Location: Louisiana | I really like the neckline on the ivory top. It's very stylish. Unfortunately, I'm unable to see the detail on the dark top on my computer.
