Right after I made my first Polly top, I picked up a four-yard piece of rayon challis for free from my sewing classroom's giveaway pile. I figured that was pretty much a direct order to make another one, especially since I wore the first one so much! I didn't want to make an insert for this one, though, since the print was already so busy, and it would be way too hard (and against the stashbusting rules, which I had already broken in picking up the original fabric) to find a coordinating fabric.

I opted to just "fill in" the empty area where the insert would be by extending the center front line down and continuing as normal. This meant that there wasn't any bust shaping, and of course the whole top got a lot swingier at the bottom. The former didn't work quite so well with my expanding bust, but the bottom will accommodate quite a bit more bump!
Beautiful top! You look gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great - and the neckline is very flattering on you!
ReplyDeleteI really like this! Pretty print
ReplyDeleteUntil your tummy starts expanding more you could belt it at the waist with a little skinny belt to help with the bust problem. It's really cute. I like the print and the neckline.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good!
ReplyDeleteLove the changes you made. I really like the longer cut.
