A great top, the facing elevates it. I will be making more.

Lovely fit and design
The pattern is easy and beautiful, but I have a few reflections: I think the notches around the corners are unnecessary, so I only trace the notches around the sleeve and the neck. The neck can be a bit tricky to attach to the body with a serger, but I found that it is easier if you sew a straight stitch with your sewingmachine before finishing with your serger.
