I had some fabric leftover black and white ITY fabric from my double-faux wrap dress<\/a> and decided to use it to make a double-bell sleeve top for my daughter for her birthday last month. I used the Pattern Emporium Allure Bell Sleeve Top<\/a> pattern, a pattern I had previously used only to add bell sleeves to the Wanderlust dress<\/a>. Allure comes with a wide range of sleeve options. I decided to use the modern bell style in short and long lengths and attach them to short sleeves. I cut size AU 10 with a wide scoop neck. The pattern falls at hip length, so for me I would make it 2-3 inches shorter to account for my short height. My daughter prefers shorter tops and she is only an inch taller than me, so I shortened it by 5 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pattern came together pretty quickly and I’m really happy with the results. I’m sure I’ll be making more Allure tops. For me I will shorten it less next time, use the sloped shoulder adjustment I used on the Wanderlust dress, and probably also uses the Wanderlust neck band, which is slightly less scooped. Here you can see me modeling it before I sent it to my daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here’s my daughter modeling it when I visited her last week. I wore it untucked, she preferred to tuck it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
