This top was made from a cotton/lycra knit, from Mood Fabrics. It travels well, and has held up through several machine washings.
The pattern is Simplicity 1463. Fortunately I consulted PatternReview.com, and basted up the sides first. The width across the neckline and bustline was huge, so I took the sides in about 4" total. I had to make a tuck in the neckline, which kinda works with the stripe. The sleeve bands were way too tight, and they had to be cut about 2" bigger.
This is the type of top I like to wear out and about during the day in Italy. If the temperature soars it can stand alone, although most of the time I wear it with the jacket in Capsule Wardrobe, Italy, 2014, #1.
