Draped Top - Paco Peralta
Introduction
I'm back from being busy with everyone's sewing and now I can try out a new pattern I just got from Paco Peralta. He's done a detailed post on this top with some sewing hints and it doesn't look too hard to make.
I'm going to make mine in lace and wear it with a matching brown camisole underneath. I have just enough of this brown lace with gold accents from my fabric collection to make the top. The key with this pattern is to pick fabrics that drape well, either in knit or woven. This lace is drapey and not stiff, so I think it will work.
Parting Shot: Melting. Almost all of our snow is gone. We've had a mild week and now everything is dripping.

Looking forward to see this pattern made up. The lace is very nice.
Hope snow stays away here for a while.
I saw this on his website, yeah, I'm really curious about it made up! (We've no snow in Toronto yet, which I'm glad about, but is kind of strange...)
I have this pattern too and thought of making it from black silk knit, with the the front inset made of sequined fabric. I could also make a sequined tupe skirt and get myself a New Year's outfit! Now all I need is the time to make it....
Your lace version will be amazing to see and wear!
