This was not the fastest thing I have sewn, as I took my time making couture seams and hand sewn finishes, even self-fabric covered buttons.

I have seen this style of top all over the place in stores, in magazines, on people, so I have gathered up a few images of the look I was going for with this top:

I look forward to wearing this new silk top, and most likely, I will be making it up again in other colors soon. Exciting!
