McCalls 5671 This pattern has detailed information on how to fit the pattern to your shape before sewing, as well as how to alter the pattern – real pattern drafting techniques. I was impressed. I raised the shoulders, made a size smaller than my measurements and added a back dart to remove gapping at the neck. This top fits very well now, and is a base from which I can make alternate styles.

What a great top! It has beautiful lines and looks very classy. By contrast the original pattern looks very schlumpy. You have greatly improved the pattern and it looks beautiful. I especially like the way it looks from the back with the different lines and the collar.
Nice job Cam!

Cute! You did make wonderful improvements to the top. We have to make a sleeveless top for our first project, Simplicity 8523, in woven fabric. I’m washing fabric for it now. I’m going to put some orange cotton I had into an indigo pot today and see what happens. I, too, had to correct my pattern for upper back curve. Wish me luck!
