I bought this 1970's pattern late last year on ebay. Even though I have already had some peasant top patterns I quite liked the dress with the long sleeves in this. Unfortunately upon opening the packet I discovered that the back section of the top and dress was missing. Looking at the pattern and the elastic neckline I figured I could just use the one piece for front and back. I've discovered with some PDF patterns that some front and back sections of dresses and tops are pretty much identical. And definitely when you have to construct each piece of the pattern from the A4 print out, I try to find a shortcut.
I went on a rayon buying spree recently at Spotlight. I do love that fabric. So light and floaty and not too crushy mccrush. Shame I won't get a lot of wear out of this top with our short winters. Ah well it's a style I'll wear for years to come.
