Vogue 2980 revisited



I made another version of Vogue 2980; this time a long sleeve version. The fabric is a very stretchy, slippery, embossed knit from my stash, purchased a couple years ago from JoAnn's.

Every time I see this top reviewed on PR I LOVE it. It really is a fun style. I added a bit to the seam allowance as the first one came out very snug and I'm still a little nervous that this one is too tight for a gal of my age! I think I'm going to buy this pattern again and make the next one in the next larger size or maybe even two sizes up.

I think this could make a very sexy LBD (if lengthened, of course!) but only for a young, very fit body. I'm about 3 kids too late for that look. LOL!

    I think it looks great! From this view it doesn't look too tight at all.

  6. Your red bolero top is devine! On you it looks fab - you've got the shape "for a lady of my age" so show it off!! Love your houndstooth jacket and the second version of your NL knit.
