I've made a couple modifications this time around, too. I decided to raise the neckline, so I began neckline decreases at the same time that I started armhole decreases. Then, I knit for several inches longer before joining the fronts, so my neck opening that will have buttons is almost 6 inches deep, instead of 3.5. And, I continued the ribbing for a longer stretch than the pattern calls for. (On the first version, the ribbing stopped just below the bust and it was not flattering.) I'm also going to add a couple inches in length, I think.

summer top
I found this pattern on Sew Mama Sew in December, and finally got around to making it last weekend. It is definitely hot enough to wear it around here now, but my arms are not tan enough or toned enough yet for me to feel comfortable in it, so it's going into the wardrobe and we'll see if it ever makes an appearance on me this spring/summer.
