I think also that I might cast on more stitches for the sleeves when I frog it back, because as ruinwen mentioned, it did pull a bit. And yes it might fall down a bit, but it's meant to have something under it so hopefully that won't matter much.<BR/><BR/>Oh and no ruffles, the more I look at the sketch, th more I think they don't belong!Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672123162806640677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-6325247266444452992007-05-01T11:25:00.000-07:002007-05-01T11:25:00.000-07:00Cap sleeves!Cap sleeves!Monica Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434659825988316660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-28061294392836495312007-05-01T11:13:00.000-07:002007-05-01T11:13:00.000-07:00Vote: CAP SLEEVES!

Even so, I think the effect is still exactly what you envisioned and that's what matters. <BR/>As for the sleeves, I have a top I like with a similar drapey and loose sleeve and I like it. It's a store bought shirt, but in terms of comfort and fit, it's nice. I also like the balance that the ruffle design has, though, despite my normal tenancies, I have to admit that I think I like the top sans ruffles. With all the extra fabric at the bust, I kind of think ruffles would be too much.Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515010305975185984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-1343237518852505802007-05-01T06:07:00.000-07:002007-05-01T06:07:00.000-07:00Wow that looks really great! When I pictured the ...Wow that looks really great! When I pictured the barmaid top, I thought of all the off-the-shoulder-wench-tops I've worn and it looked like your drawing with the cap sleeves. I think those sleeves will really set off the top while allowing it to be worn off the shoulder if desired.<BR/><BR/>My problem with off-the-shoulder is that the sleeves cut into the arm or the whole thing slowly creeps down your body exposing a bit more then desired. ;)<BR/><BR/>Whatever sleeve you use will have to take those factors into consideration.Ruinwen Dagoriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838849121945131543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015647452516526528.post-74952356807673004932007-05-01T04:40:00.000-07:002007-05-01T04:40:00.000-07:00I'm *really* liking this - shall be following your...I'm *really* liking this - shall be following your progress with great interest. It looks like a very wearable, comfortable top.<BR/><BR/>I think the drapey sleeves should work very well, probably even better than cap ones, I agree.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10205649445015116465noreply@blogger.com
