No actual sewing here today to show you but I just wanted to show you what I am aiming for in my sewing!
So basically I went through the Warehouse, Coast, Dorothy Perkins, French Connection, Joy and Hobbs websites to see if there was anything that jumped out to me and saved the picture (I also did it for Oasis but the pictures wouldn't format in the collages). I limited this to woven tops as this is what my next make will be.

In a dream world this is what my top selection would look like and what I would buy on the high street, you know if going shopping didn't make me want to kill myself as my boobs so not fit in ANYTHING in any (except Dotty Ps) of these shops unless it is jersey.
It is quite obvious I like a certain silhouette! These kind of tops (if fit the lady lumps) are loose over my belly so not self concious but look feminine and can get in gorgeous fabrics.
I said in my previous post that I am going to try making muslins for these patterns:
 |
| SBCC Mimosa Blouse |
 |
| Simplicity 8523 |
 |
| Angel Sleeve Top |
And I really cannot stop looking at the Sutton Blouse by True Bias
but I will try the above three first before buying anymore patterns! Even thought there are so many nice versions out there......
Can anyone suggest any different patterns that maybe match some of my chosen pictures above?
Thanks for stopping buy!
