  9. Carrie – The sizing and yardage, along with finished measurements, are in the pattern, but let me know if you have any specific questions and I’m happy to help or send them over to you!

    Question – Do you have any tips for altering into a maternity friendly top?

  14. Danielle – I got the butterfly fabric from girlcharlee.com!

    Kursty13 – I would just add some length to the front piece – it’s a fairly long top as it is, but an added curve of a few inches would probably get you through to the end!

  15. So I made one and love it. My question is can you do a kids pattern? I would love to have this shirt for my girls. Especially since my oldest is so tall for her age, she is 6, and I have to buy two sizes to big to get them long enough for her. Pretty please.
    Thanks for an amazing pattern!
