I have made the cowl and loop front versions. As I am 1 1/2 inches taller in my back waist length than standard, I always must lengthen the body of a top. On these, I decided to lengthen only above the hem allowance. It was a easy for the cowl, but the loop front was a challenge! I managed, though. Several notes. My results, the back side of the fabric shows on my center loop on the loop front. Also, on the loop front, I wasn't sure how far down the A1/A2 seam to stitch.

I sewed all the way from the armscye edge to the notch of the upper bodice (A1) and it's matching notch on A2. I ended up having to ease in about an inch of fabric of the edge of A2 to the edge of A1. This has caused some blousing of the ower bodice along the A2/A1 seam line. If I had simply started pinning from the armscye edge, inward, and let the A2 seam fall long, it would have left a deep "keyhole" opening below the center loop.

Also, I had to add 1 inch of depth to the armhole on both styles to fit me comfortably and I nipped the waist in about an inch as I like a closer fit. What I do love about the Loop front is it really hugs my bust and keeps the design in place and looks so nice! I think you’ve done a wonderful job withposting videos and I want to encourage you to continue your design work.

I just made the loop front version of this top, and I LOVE it. I can't thank you enough for this video--it really helped me with the construction of the top.
