in 92cm, i find this runs a little short, i now add 2"+SA to the hem. the shirring made this top looked a bit "tight" so i modified that with gathering instead. this is one of my fave pattern.

long sleeve version minus gathering. it was a little fitted, so i will definetely sew it with some gathering.

I added some extra rows of shirring because it just didn't look right to me with the suggested number of rows. It did seem a little short to me too though they were gifts, so I am not sure.

This is one of my favorite tops! It definitely runs short - I always add about 2" to the bottom. I also gather instead of shirring. I have made a ton of these...

Ran short for me too...and the sleeves actually ran a little long on DD.

Ran short for me as well. Size 122 but 134 for length on hem. My dd loves the shirt and her bff wants one now too. Have another cut out for younger DD. Need to get to that.

Orvokki for younger dd. size 122. little length added. On this one, I did not add the double sleeves. Also, pants are the tulip pants from 4/09 or 6/09.

the possibilities are endless with this pattern :) all in 98cm with 3" added to the hem so it falls midway on her hips.
