Hey Lovelies, I’m so excited about this top. It’s Vogue 9315. I’ve seen different varieties of this pattern being sewn and I really love them all which motivates me to buy one.
Going through my fabric stack I noticed this African print cotton wax fabric which was a remnant from a previous dress I made and right away I know that was the fabric I was going to use.
Here are what I love about the pattern. First, the long sash which you could wrap around twice in each direction. Second, the peplum sleeves and Third the crop is shaped perfectly.
PATTERN MODIFICATIONS
Checking other blogger’s recommendations, I decided to
- Add 1.5 inches to the length of the top but it was still a bit short for me so next time I will be adding 2 or 2.5inches.
- I raised the neck by 1.5 inches because of my triple D cup.
- I added 3 inches to each sleeve peplum and increase the length by 1.5 inches.
- I added lining to the front and back bodice.
Going through the pattern, I do recommend the pattern and I think I could easily turn it into a dress.
I did a sew-along video for the pattern which is the video above.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today

Fantastic – I love that fabric! I just bought this pattern and there aren’t many reviews out there so thanks for yours! I’m planning on making it in gingham.
Hi Angie, Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m glad and hope my review and sew along on the Pattern will help you when you’re ready to make yours. 🙂
Hi, I also just bought this pattern. Looks great on you! Love the video, very informative. I have a question….. I’m very narrow across the neckline/shoulders and the pattern does look wide across this area, I’m thinking of making it closer to the neckline. I’m also planning on making a puff sleeve with it. Any suggestions and or advice? Thank you, Sandra
Hi Sandra,
Thanks for the comments. I understand what you’re trying to achieve but it’s very hard to explain without an illustration or some sort of drawings to show you how.
I apologize that i couldn’t help with your question.
