Coco Top + Dress

I love this pattern! Instructions were easy to follow. I made up in a navy and white striped cotton spandex jersey.

Excellent Pattern, Will get a Lot of Use!

Coco has been sitting in my pattern stash since I bought the sewing machine earlier in the year. Finally got around to making the top version in a green tweed effect lightweight ponte. I wasn't keen on the tunic with splits length, a bit neither here nor there on me at 5ft 2, so I shortened the top by 4 inches so it is just above the line where the markings are for the top of the split sides. Funnel neck was a lovely fit. Will wear for work with a pencil skirt. Only thing I would change is to use a 3/8"/10mm seam allowance, as I have used with some other knit patterns, which will give me a little more ease at the top of the shoulder/armscye area. I have a funky retro scuba in stash which I plan to make the dress version with presently.

I gave it a 5 star but did not make it because the style for me was not right, so I donated it to a cancern fund center where they collect fabric and patterns. But thank you...It was lovely, but not for me.
