BurdaStyle Magazine July 2022 Top 119 ~ Side Drape Knit Top

During the month of July, while in the midst of a long stretch of 100 degree + days, I sewed this simple sleeveless knit top. I liked that it provided more coverage than a tank top, but would keep me just as cool. The pattern is top 119 from the July 2022 BurdaStyle magazine. I found the drape below the armhole opening interesting, but wasn't sure if it would feel or look awkward when worn. I knew the design needed a soft knit, like a rayon knit. Not wanting to use one of my "good" rayon knits until I was sure I liked the top, I used a lightweight floral knit that I purchased as a precut bundle from Walmart. This one was two yards for four dollars. I'm sure it's a polyester, which was fine with me as I only wanted to test the pattern. Turned out I liked it enough that I wore this top frequently during the heat wave. The top has a two dot rating. According to the magazine, that means "easy to sew, but more time-consuming". I think that depends
