Ellie and Mac Women's Shark Bite Top

I love Wacky Wednesdays at Ellie and Mac! There is always a great selection of patterns that are marked down to only $1 for Wednesday only. This week, the Women's Shark Bite Top is part of the Wacky Wednesday Sale!

The Shark Bite Top is awesome! I love the hemline - it adds interest and a bit of flair!

I made this one with an ITY (interlock twist yarn) knit that I got from Wherehouse Fabrics.

I'm 5' tall and made the pattern as drafted. This length is great on me for wearing the Shark Bite Top with leggings or with my Designer Stitch Shakti pants in these photos. As you can see below - it covers my behind. If you are taller than me and you want the same coverage, you might need to lengthen the pattern a little bit.

I love the loose fit of the Shark Bite Top. I've been having issues with autoimmune gastritis that causes my upper abdomen to swell a lot. The fit of the Shark Bite Top helps to disguise this issue. In the photo below, my stomach is swollen and sticks out past my bust, but you can't really tell that in this top.

This top comes with a couple of options. I made the non-colorblocked version. I'm anxious to try the colorblocked version. I've seen some really cute version  of the Shark Bite Top that have a solid body and print colorblocked sides.

The Shark Bite Top can be made sleeveless, short sleeves, or with 3/4 length sleeves. I've made a ton of sleeveless shirts recently, so I decided to make this top short sleeved. I love the length of these sleeves.

The Shark Bite Top takes 2 yards of fabric to make a version like mine in size large. The colorblocked version is great for using about 1 yard of 2 different fabrics.

If the Shark Bite Top isn't your style, be sure to check out all the other patterns for $1 in the Wacky Wednesday Sale.
