a RED Valentino top

I thought this RED Valentino top was really cute. The bow is just adorable! It's selling for NZ$327; I spent $25.10 on materials and it took me 2 hours and 50 minutes.


These are the pattern pieces I made - one front and back piece (both pinned on a folded line) and one sleeve piece (pinned on a double layer of fabric)


This is the fabric I used for the bow - I overlocked the edges to keep them tidy

I think this is actually the best job I've done yet of copying an designer item! This top was quite simple (but then a lot of other things that have seemed simple have been the ones that I've stuffed up the most). Im really happy with this Copycat item! :)
