I saw these in 'the flesh' at Yarndale, Skipton on Saturday. They are really nice but as I thought and has been echoed on here, not £99. They are made in a really thick, grainy linen and the purple and cerise ones were gorgeous, as was the ticking stripe.
The sketch looks pretty accurate to me on how you get that point at the side. It is just cut very wide so you would need wide fabric, or even join narrrower stuff in the centre. The armholes are quite deep.
I was picking the brains of the lady who makes them, she had made one for herself and it actually fitted her, rather than was baggy. I'm a bit busty so would have to take into account that it might need darts or poke out a bit.
I suggested that they might come up with a sort of dolman sleeved top to wear over, that came just under the bust, for days when you wouldn't want a T shirt.
You can buy linen fabric fairly reasonably in Ikea, and I think I do have some from a project I never started. |
