This is another project for my palette challenge ss2012. I finished this top 5 days ago, but only today I am having time to post it on my little blog.

I've been reading and learning the book Built by Wendy Dresses, for this tops I used the shift dress pattern. I had to shorten the dress pattern more less right in the hip line.

Happy weekend everyone:))
