No. 6 Any Occasion Top Spring 2012

All occassion tops Number 6 on Tim Gunn's list is the Any Occasion Top, here are a few examples from the Net-a-Porter website, that can easily go from day to evening. You can swap out the jeans for a pair of black pants or a skirt and you are ready for dinner.

I am especially intrigued by the Etro top (I love the crazy colors), and if you have a collection of chiffon cuts that you didn't know what to do with, this would be a good use for them.  There's even a Vogue pattern (V1301)  that was recently issued that might be a good start if you shortened it a bit.

Any Occasion Top - Completed!

Blog post here.  Pattern review here.

I feel a bit disappointed with how this turned out, mainly because of the clear elastic being so stiff.  I hope it will soften up in the wash.  The top itself is very soft and cozy, however!
