Amanda, Serving Wench


I did not listen to you; I did not leave it alone.


It is a feat of engineering with its profusion of eyelets, a zippered blue twill lining and 450 darts.


Miles of lime green bias binding around the top edge. I quite possibly have a sway back.


It took 15 hours of sewing and 115 hours of staring. I did not make the deadline for submissions for Spring Top Week.

But I did submit it here!
make it wear it

  4. Love the wide shoulders! Great job! Now I get to sit here and be depressed on how uncute my wardrobe is and now will have an I-have-had-five-kids-an-will-NEVER-look-like-that-again pity party. :P

    My veri-word is popin. As in "you are popin fresh, Amanda."

  9. You are a much braver woman than I! I'm the same boobage (is that a word? ) as you, and I've never been brave enough to attempt anything other than an underbust corset.
    You did great though, it's a super cute top.
    I wonder if seaming the cups more like a bra would work rather than the darts? (You probably already considered that idea.)
