Last week I attended a work conference in Mason City. One of the attendees was wearing this gorgeous top from Banana Republic.
I of course did what anyone else would do and rushed to the fabric store to purchase some lovely crepe suiting. As soon as I got home I searched my pattern stash for the perfect pattern. Butterick 5509, view A, from 1991was the perfect match.
I added 6 inches to the back, squared off the sides and used french seams on the side and shoulder seams. I finished the arm holes and neck edge with seam binding. The front and back hem was finished with a 5/8 hem which I then folded into a 2 inch hem.
Overall, I am very pleased with how my top turned out.
