Merchant and Mills Top 64 pattern Aja Vaz
This is the Top 64 from Merchant and Mills in a size 16. I fell btwn size 14 and 16 and probably would've been fine with a 14 since there is a lot of ease built in the pattern.
I'm still ambivalent about the fit on me- it's meant to be boxy and loose-ish since it's modeled after a fisherman's top/artist's smock.
The pockets are more of a design element than useful, as you can see with my hand as a reference.
The fabric is Robert Kaufman's cotton double cloth in Indigo- soo soft and comfy.
It's a pullover, so no worries about closures- the main trouble for me was getting my top-stitching just right. Definitely shows when you get off track.
It will get worn, especially since my winter garb inventory is sorely lacking.
