A great, youthful effect. In the 1950s I made a very similar pattern, a Vogue pattern, but it had a diagonal seam crossing the front; the bottom of the slit reached the diagonal seam. It had modest side slits and I made it out of pale blue Indian Head cotton. Loved it! Still have the pattern.Carol in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040851935970426022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-12118918203976200872016-11-30T05:28:35.812-05:002016-11-30T05:28:35.812-05:00Great looking top.
