I’ve just made my first True Romance top. I did the dramatic sleeve with the extra deep cuff and I’m in love. So beautiful. I’ve left the bottom without a band and just hemmed at 1.5mm. The hem shape is lovely left as is, and the fit is excellent.
Great pattern and instructions, very happy with the two Ive made so far.
Very easy to make, yet very stylish blouse. Thank you PE!
The sleeves options are fantastic. I am new to sewing with stretch fabrics & this pattern has given me my best results yet. I have a few more in mind. The instructions are clear & great.
I love this top. It’s so versatile and can be dressed up or down
