Late or Early???

Man what a bad hair day!!! I have had this fabric since last summer hoping to make this top for fall. Well it is -------- lets see--May? oh well I always have good intentions. I just look at it as being early for next fall. I bought this fabric online but I can't remember where. You can't tell but the polka -dots are pink. I love anything the crosses or wraps, so this pattern caught my eye. It's nothing special, but it is a good staple in your wardrobe.

I underlined the area that can be a little gappy[is that a word?]
Here is a close-up picture of the neckline.

  4. Cute top..can you detail a little about underlining the part that gaps? Did you use a fusible interfacing? Thanks.

  5. to anonymous: I didn't underline the top. I underlined the picture where it can be a little gappy. You can always go inside and hand stitch it down or top stitch it closed.

  7. It's V8536, right? I've just bought this pattern. Would love to know if anyone has a tip on how to cure the gaping, as other people have commented on it.
