Very sexy. I wish I had the body to wear something that cute.

[Chrome Kitty]

I love it. It looks great on you. I like that it has different options for the lacing. Good job!

[Twinnish]

Very nice! Alas, I don't have the bod, either.

Is that a cute little matching purse in the picture, wrapped around your hand?

[yarndiva]

I love your design! You don't need to lose that extra weight...I do! :lol

Maybe I will make that top as a present for me when I have finally gotten these stubborn baby pounds off!

Great job! :cheer

[aussiecrocheter]

Very nice!!

[Pyogazel]

Thank you ladies :c9
Twinnish, yes, it's a purse I made as a "gauge" (http://crocheted.blogspot.com/2006/01/pacifier-holder-or-porte-tute.html)

[belle7171]

Very Hot!

[Shellybrook]

VERY NICE!!! and a little purse to match? Did you use a pattern? I really like that! I have one I have been working on that I created in my head...I have a little frogging to do, but you really inspired me with the back lacing! I love it!

[wildthing1058]

that is a very sexy top I am going to have to make it for myself

[Ladycrochat]

Wow! That is one great top:c9 ! Do you have the pattern for it, Or did you design it yourself? :think Is the pattern available someplace? I think Lots of (younger and thinner) people would love to make it!:yes You know, I JUST got finished watching a re run of "Charmed", and BEFORE I went to your BLOG...I said to myself...."That looks like something one of those Halliwell girls would be wearing!"....So, I think you have indeed captured what you wanted to!

[KristieMN]

I looks fantastic on you!

[tiggerhale]

WOW! I think it looks great! (And I love your motto - I'm always saying that but in English. Maybe if they really make me mad, I'll use the French - haha!)

[Ennovy88]

That is definitely gorgeous... you did a fantastic job.

[cat3crazy]

Love the fact that you used your gauge "swatch" to make a maching purse! That's great incentive to do a gauge "swatch".

BTY, you look great in the top. It's very pretty!

[knitted_painting]

I think it looks great and it looks fab on you!:clap I really think it is a Charmed top:manyheart

[caitlinsmom]

Very sexy. So beautiful.:yes

[TamKing]

It is beautiful and you look beautiful in it! I enjoyed reading your blog, too. :hook

[dragonfli]

Wow! Very sexy and you have the bod to pull it off to!! You look fab! Wonderful job!!

[rose_anglaise]

Très joli ce petit haut! :clap I'm very impressed that it's your own design.

The fact that it can be worn braless is a real selling point - though I think I'll wait a while before attempting this pattern for myself, as I am 8 months' pregnant and I doubt it would be too flattering :lol

[cinfulkarmah]

That turned out really neat.

[Hellen]

I guess that when you are walking in this everybody is looking only at YOU! :clap

[Pyogazel]

Ladies, thank you very much for your nice comments and compliments, I feel like I'm walking on a cloud :c9


Thank you Shellybrook, I designed the pattern myself and the "purse" is just something I did with the gauge swatch (thank you for noticing Cat3crazy!), the back lacing was an idea I came up to use less yarn, this is a constant preoccupation for me :lol I'm glad you like it :)

Debbie, I made the pattern available for whoever wants to use it (and not sell that that is) but
it's in French, I haven't had time and courage to rewrite it in American (or even in English, the crochet vocabulary can be very confusing)
and the pattern is for a solid fabric, a two-colors one would have been far more difficult to write down...

here's the link for the French instructions (http://pyogazel.free.fr/index.php?p=136&more=1), may be you can figure something out from the schematics...

I'm glad you liked my blog Tam :)

Hellen, the truth is I haven't worn it without at least a jacket or a sheer shirt on it :blush , it is really sexy, but even with a jacket, it did attract attention :hook
