I have been working like a bee on my new spring-summer collection.
I have a lot of donated clothes of all sorts. For this creation, I chose flowy and sheer crepe and rayon. I have TONS of those types of clothes.
Here is what I started with:
 |
| Donated rayon dress - Loved the print ! |
 |
| Got this one at a church bazaar - crepe polka dots - LOVE ! |
 |
| Loved the bright colours of this flowy crepe top ! |
I made 2 asymmetrical tops. The first one:
I think I should have put the sheer in the back to be able to wear it in public !!!
Here is the second one:
Love this one ! I brought pieces of the back in front for a slimming effect and increased the scoop for a more flattering result. But I still have to master those darned French seams !!!
I like the second one better. What do you think ? Would you buy this kind of top ?

I think a lot of people would need to find something to wear under the first one. I do love the way you have blended the two tops though.
I like the top one best, but both are really cute. You are good at pattern mixing.
Concerning the 'sheer' front:
a) how about a 'blind bra' (= additional strip of either plain colour or of leftover material) from one side the other just where 'The Importants' are to be covered ;-) :-D ?
b) how about wearing it reverse round? Neckline 'twitching' necessary ? If due to this 'back-to-front' the back suddenly seems too short, how about a 'part peplum' (back only) in perhaps even asymmetrical ?
These patterns look great together and the tops are so pretty. The sheer front might be a problem...... haha. Maybe a tank under?
