New top, done

I finished the top I had started:

The water blotch is from the iron (I was eager to get it posted). I tried it on, I can get it over my head even though it is supposed to be sized for super stretch knits.

I cut a B cup, which seems to be big even on the dress form. Hmmm ... It has a funky place in the front, I must have not been careful sewing it there. Aside from that, it might be wearable. The dress code at work is pretty lax. :-)

I put elastic around the neckline, in the hopes it would not stretch out. The pattern called for seam binding, but I didn't have any on hand, so I used a strip of the pink knit instead.

The back. The arms are actually symmetrical, I just didn't spread them both out.

Not great, but it fits reasonably well & I did learn by doing.
