My version:
A light, swingy top made from some stash jersey and New Look 6807. After reading the reviews of this top on Pattern Review, I raised the neckline a bit before cutting. I'm glad I did, otherwise I think this top would be too low cut for my comfort. I also lengthened and narrowed the sleeves.
I omitted the tie in the back neckline. I like the tie detail on the pattern, but I didn't want to add any more fuss to this busy print. Pattern: New Look 6807
Fabric: Jersey from my stash (and I still have enough to make another top)
Modifications: Raised neckline, narrowed and lengthened sleeves, omitted back neck tie
Result: I really like this top and will probably make it again in a solid color.

You did a great job! I really love it - you are always such a great inspiration!
It looks fantastic. I'll have to get that pattern. I love it!
That looks great Stephanie! You are sooo good at making clothes for yourself! By the way, did I tell you I got your block? I love it!!
What a totally lovely top!
I like the top and the mods you made to it. Adding it to my list of things I want to make!
Stephanie, that looks fantastic!! I could use some serious pointers on sewing a knit fabric. I've tried it before, but to no avail. The knit I had was a little thick, and wouldn't stop curling at the edge. And I know you lose stretch if you sew with a straight stitch, but I'm not sure how else to make it work. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
(And all this from the girl who's also going to sew her own wedding dress! Knit's just make me so terribly nervous!)
I love the neckline and the shape of the sleeves. Are they a little bit wider at the wrist?
Great job - it looks fab!
this looks amazing! love it on you. looks comfy, yet stylish.
I absolutely love your top! Pattern and Fabric. I just pulled out my serger to learn how to use it!
I love how it looks on you. Great job!
Wait, I'm not that kind of stalker - I just meant that it looks great. period. ha-ha!
love the top. the ties on the back would have been lost. good call on the omition.
wow, I love your top. I think it looks better than Anthropologie's version. makes me want to sew tonight. :)
I love it!!! Absolutely gorgeous. for some reason I'm terrified to sew jersey...one of these days I need to just jump in there and go for it!
oh wow.
It's soo well made...
What a really great top! Love the fabric - probably because I still have some of it in my collection too!
