Sucess with Vogue 8580

Well I finished my shirt. Here's the review from PR. First picture is the top with white tank out of my closet. The second one is with the unfinished tank that came with the pattern. I'm going to reshape the neckline to use this winter on the 10 days it's cold enough to need an undershirt.
Pattern Description: Pullover Tunic and sleeveless tank.

Pattern Sizing: Large- XX Large

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy. This is such a quick and easy top.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I'm not sure on someone as heavy and short as myself if the 2" elastic really works. I'm going to make this again in a solid and use 1 1/2" elastic and take the elastic all the way around the bottom of the chest. On this pattern you sop the elastic for about 5" inches in the front. I think for me it looks funny because I have a fat belly. But on someone who had a flat stomach or a tiny mommy tummy this would look great. I made the tank in grey, but didn't really like the neckline (to high -and I like high necklines -you can see it on my blog http://catsandcalico.blogspot.com/ . I like it better with a white tank I had in my closet. If I make the tank again I would lower the neckline.
Fabric Used: It's a poly knit that I've had awhile.
Don't remember where it came from. The grey tank was a cotton knit from Joann's.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: Did a full bust adjustment. Had to cut off about 6 inches in length. It was almost long enough for a dress. If it had been a few inches longer I would have made it a dress. It was cute as a dress.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will sew this again. It's quick, easy and I like it.

Conclusion: Great quick and easy top and I think it would make a cute dress.
