I really like the top since you removed the twist, but it is a shame as it was an appealing design feature. Your blues are bluetiful!

It's a stunner Lisa - it really does look so pretty. Yes, some things have to be taken to bits straight away...I think the twist may work on some people, but you are more classic in style.

In hindsight guess I should've written more about the neckline facing as it is a great component of this top. After sewing, then understitching the front neckline, it is then treated more as an 'underlining' and is sewn together into the side seams and armhole seams. Because of the knit, I leave its hem edge raw and to date have not had problems with curling. I remember when I first made this top I was afraid the inner cowl facing would be weird and uncomfortable, but have found that to be not true at all. This is one of the most comfortable tops pattern's I've sewn. Thanks Diane! :)

Oh, this is such a lovely top! I've always had a soft spot for cowl necklines. I've never made one with a facing like that and I love the idea, so I'll be bookmarking this for reference

Good point there Kathleen. Most of my favorite New Look tops are the hidden jewels of the pattern envelopes. Thank you so much!! :)

So many New Look patterns are really nice but I hardly pay them much notice because the drawings on the front hardly ever do them justice! They should have you modelling them :) Love cowl top and you're right, just the sort of top you reach for all summer long!

Thank you so very much Carolyn!! :)
