For my second Polly top I had so many awesome scraps I wanted to use that it was hard to choose the best ones. Finally I settled for the silk-linen that was leftover from my Lisette Jacket as I adored the drape of it, and I paired it with the never-ending silk that was my Victoria Blazer lining (and my Papercut Saiph!)
I used a size US 6. I took 1 inch from the centre front and about 1 inch from the top of the shoulders. I cut about 2 inches off the bottom. French seamed, and in order to show off the very cool selvedges I left the back open at the bottom since I didn't have enough fabric to cut it on the fold. That also helps get it on without a zip.
I adore my new Polly top! The fit is magical and actually the horseshoe front went in more easily this time as both my fabrics had just enough give. Unfortunately this was the project that got shunted to the very end so I was sewing my bindings with the wrong coloured thread and it shows some on the front...
Photo update! Thanks Mum!
