This is a keeper. Quick, easy, super flattering and fun to sew. I'm not a mom and it works really well as a regular top.

This is my first pattern purchase from Jalie and it is perfect! The sizing was perfect to what my measurements are. The top went together faster than I thought and was just right. No ripping out, perfect fit, and easy to follow directions. I will make many more tops with this pattern. (not a nursing mother and pattern is still great for all of us. )

The top has a modern appearance, and sewed up quickly. The partially floating front (under the "cross-over") would be great for nursing mothers! Wish I had one when I was nursing my babies! For my top, I stitched the front to the under-most criss-cross panel, most of the way across. It felt more comfortable that way. The flutter sleeves are easy and attractive.

On the whole I love this pattern. Have made it four times now. My only criticism is that when it comes to the very last step of stitching or tacking the front to the bodice it's very hard to work out where to place the stitches and for what length.

I have made two of these tops on my serger for two different mothers to be. Both women love their top and have requested another one be made for them.
