Here is my new and improved design—very Anthropologie!
This is a perfect top to wear under a sweater.
Here is my ruffle disaster top. Those two pink tees looked so innocent lying next to each other at the start...who knew?

Pin the ruffle to the cut edge of your tee. Sew or serge together.

Pin colunm onto cut edge of tee
Check to be sure that none of the ruffles are in the way before you start stitching.

When I checked the look of my ruffle, I decided to gather the top ruffle again to take in a bit before I finished the neckline.

Here it the column inserted into the tee
The top ruffle looks too wide at the neck for my taste.

I used the same rayon batik to finish the neckline. Now all that's left to decide is how to finish the armholes—what do you think, knit or rayon...or is it even worth finishing?

gather top ruffle in a little before you finish neckline
I'm going to wait to see what your opinions are!

Craft_Crazy22 writes: I think you should finish the armholes just with some bias tape of similar color as the ruffles. It looks good short sleeved. And I don't think that the pink contrast is as bad as you think it is. What I do think though, is that the batik should've been something different. At first it looked like a darker lace. That would've been really pretty to have that extra detail. But with what you have going now, I'd definitely keep it sleeveless! so cute!
