My second Florence Top from Merchant and Mills. I sized down on this one. I made my previous version according to my measurements and taking account of the finished garment measurements. Despite this, it was a bit big, most noticeably on the shoulders (see my previous post). I’m very happy with the fit on this one. This is made from a previous make. A dress that, having lost a bit of weight was too big for me. It’s made in gorgeous vintage textured cotton, a core fabric from Guthri and Ghani. I love it, it’s so soft and have in my fabric stash in several colours.

Love the vintage cotton from G&G (and Lamazi).

This looks like a beautiful make and well done you for repurposing something that no longer fits. It's very gratifying, isn't it?

And a 🌟for smiling in your photos.... x
