Some back to school sewing! A polka dot Faura top - a new pattern from Pauline Alice. This was a very simple and satisfying sew. Love the unique design of the princess seams and the ties at the waist for shaping.





Pattern: Pauline Alice Faura Top 

Mods: changed side ties into skinny bows instead of using the d-rings 

I made a straight size 40 and it fits great!

Fabric: Gray and white polka dot lightweight cotton


After wearing it a few times I still love the design, but it tends to get pull lines across the front and back where the ties are. I'm curious if this would happen with a medium weight fabric instead of lightweight? Other than that, I love it!
