For a detailed review click here. For a short review.....I was looking for a very quick top to finish off the June capsule. I wasn't feeling the love for another Ottobre T so decided to have a go at this Burda fold over top. As the smallest size is 38 (and I need a 34) I decided to just morph the fold details onto the Ottobre. Easy! And quicker than tracing the whole thing out. I also took out 1.5 cms in the armhole area. Lucky I did as it still is a bit low. Will raise it some more for next version.
I had great trouble working out the fold - Burda instructions are double dutch in relation to this! So if you want to make this top, refer to Christina's fabulous photo tutorial on Pattern review. I wish I had done that before I started. Would have saved quite a bit of ripping out and head scratching.
I am wearing this top to work today. But I have gone all conservative with a grey skirt, black books and a green necklace.

Pta .- is curious to see you with winter clothing while here in Spain we have so much heat ...
great top, the neckline is very flattering
I like this! Good idea to raise the neckline, now it's work-appropriate.
Vicki, very stylish top. It appears to be similar to the new Jalie(2806) top, which I really like too :)
Good merging of the two patterns - very stylish!
Great top! I've got the Jalie version of this to try out at some point.
Vicki - I like your top. It's very similar to the Jalie one that Deepika reviewed recently and then added further instructions for the fold after she visited Jalie.
Your top looks great, Vicki! You've been on a roll lately!
Your version looks fantastic! I love it!
