Giddy-up! Simplicity 2599 V2

I love my first version of this top so much, that I've made it again, almost exactly the same, just in a different colourway.
This time I made necessary adjustments to the bust darts and cut the back on the fold. Again, I lowered the neckline and tried to adjust the front neckline to prevent gaping, but I think I might hand stitch a few small tucks as the pleated trim is pulling it down a little.
I love this fabric (from this Etsy seller, but she only appears to have a green and purple version in her shop right now), which is a little funny because I don't love horses. This colourway goes nicely with my red pants, which still need buttons, but I'm going to wear them today with safety pins.
Happy Sewing!

    Love this top on you. And I would totally wear my pants that way too if they looked as good as yours do.

    Hello! Wow, I just checked out your year of sewing in review and my gosh you are a sewing machine woman! I actually bought the last 2 yards of this fabric from the etsy seller and I'm not particularly into horses either!
