This is a great pattern, simple, quick and easy. I made view A in a medium, adding extra length in the body and the sleeves, but I left off the cowl - I think it would have looked a little busy with the thick stripes. The pattern suggests you bind the neckline but I wanted a wider neck band. I should have used interfacing because it ended up being fairly floppy and I had to sew a small tuck at the centre front. It was a happy accident because I really like the slight v shape of the new neckline.
Between the sewing and a glass (or two) of my favourite bubbly, I was feeling much better by the time I went to bed.

I'm a bit of a fan of stripes. I think the wide neck band looks really good with the stripes too. Sounds like a perfect evening.
Love your striped top and have two pieces to make up myself. Hadn't thought of leaving the cowl off KS3740, thank you for the tip.
I love striped tops, they always looks so chic, especially in black and white like yours. I love the long lean look you have got with this one. When I first saw the photo I was admiring the nice neckline - I didn't realise that tuck wasn't supposed to be there - I think it looks really good like that!
It looks great. I am seeing black and white striped shirts everywhere this fall, in fashion mags and on line. Sometimes a quick project is just what you need to make you feel better.
I love black and white striped tops too, and this fabric and top is fab! MInd sharing where you got the fabric? ;)
I think your neckline looks perfectly beautiful, I didn't even notice the tuck until you pointed it out...
Yep, it's a winner to me! You forgot to mention late night family lobbing in on you, asking you to taxi them to the airport and then leaving you to it!
