Completed Project: Butterick 4228

I completed the wearable muslin top portion of Butterick 4228.  This is a pattern from the sixties, an era I seem to have suddenly become enamored with. 


As touted on the pattern envelope, this top was easy!  And it has a very flattering drape.  Here is a picture of the completed top.


I thought it would look nice styled with this cardigan.


My plan is to do the complete suit in this lilac linen.  Then the skirt will have two interchangeable tops.


I need to prewash the linen, so I think I'll jump into a couple of other projects first, but I'll be back to this one pretty quick because I can't wait to wear it as an outfit!
