Smocky top 2.0

I returned to my smocky top pattern yesterday and made some changes, lengthening the bodice slightly, puffing the sleeves more and switching the hem from a curved to a straight edge.


Due to version 1.0 hanging off Maia's shoulders a bit, I graded down for a 18m/2T. I didn't use the exact body pieces because I was repurposing something that I had started but didn't like, so it's not as gathered as it should be.


I made an elastic casing for the bottom of the sleeve edge. The polkadot fabric makes wonderful puffs!


And I lifted the notch a tiny bit so it was further away from the gathering.


I was going to ask you to spot the fail but then thought you might name things other than the one I was expecting and I'd be sad, so... it's a fabric orientation fail. Butterflies are upside down!
