McCalls 6991: Twist Front Cross Body Top.

This is a top that has taken the fashion world by storm. This type of top has been highlighted since 2013 in most of the fashion lines.   I was really excited about making it and knew that it would be with a Jersey Knit, because I wanted the drape to be as draped as possible.  I love this style as it hides a multitude of midsection issues.

I found the instructions to be very confusing, so I jut kind of did my own thing, and it came out just as I expected.  I omitted the pocket as well.    I do plan to make it again, in a structured fabric.

  5. As you stated this top is hot and has been hot for a minute. I have a pattern for this top and I'm always thinking that it would get to it but that hasn't happened yet! I love this on you with your skinny jeans and I like that color. I'm feeling a little inspired to pull out that pattern. Michelle @ www.thatblackchic.com
