We are supposed (and I stress supposed) to be in Spring here in the states, but we have been averaging 40-50 degrees since the first day of spring. So I guess our spring/summer here is fall/winter for you.<br /><br />I love the top and the fabric choice. Great job!

The pleats at the back of the neck look much more wearable than gathers would have been. <br /><br />It's always decieving how much fabric these type of garments take, isn't it? Once you get gathers and wrap overs you end up with huge oddly shaped pattern pieces, that take huge amounts of fabric.

And of all places, I picked it up from Bargain Box Fabrics, Capalaba. From a little research, Valance Fabrics is an Aussie Wholesaler, so I would say that this is probably leftover stock from last season ...
