Collette Sorbetto

The Collette Sorbetto is a free download. People have made millions of these tops and they look fantastic. My version is a disaster. The failure stems from both the drafting, which just does not l0ok good on me, and the hoops I had to go through to get my 1 yard of 45"-wide silk charmeuse to work. Actually, my little Frankensolution didn't look half bad. Mostly it is the shape of this pattern, especially the darts, which I find very strange.

Here's a close up of the back. I had to patch the fabric together to create pieces large enough. Then I had to make bias strips. Another disaster was I cut them too narrow! Then I managed to find enough room in the scraps for wider bias pieces and thus could finish the neckline and armhole edges.
