Coldwater Creek Knock Off

Here is the original top that my boss brought me to knock off
Here is the muslin for my version of the Coldwater Creek wrap top knock off. It really turned out very close to the original version with the exception that i did not line mine. I used Lastin elastic to stabilize the neck line. It is a looser fit faux wrap than Burda types and although it looked like it was going to be low cut to my navel, it is not. the gentle ruching at the left side is very flattering and all in all it is a very comfortable top to wear. I can see why my boss would like some more. I also copied the lining which was flat witout ruching, so this will be a good base pattern for morphing into other faux wrap styles. All and all it was a good experience.
