I first developed this to save money, as I'd paid alot for Sailor Jerry material, which I have recently discovered is reasonably priced from Etsy.com from America.
The black panels down each side take away from the heavy patterns and make the tops easier on the eye! Also, the black fabric is stretchy enough to make the top fitted without any difficult stiching :D

Awesome way to use fabrics that you love and haven't a clue what to do with! I also measure 32(ish) but I would *never* get that to stay up. You must be cheating! =p
How hard would it be to "fit" it a little so it might not fall off my uncooperative figure? If I laid one of the patterned pieces on a shirt that fit, and cut the black pieces (folded in half) to resemble the curve of the side of the shirt ... would that work? Or did I stop making sense?

Lilla I shall make you super jealous and tell you I got about 3 yards of that for 50p from a car boot!
And Rivil L,my figure is surprisingly uncompromising too! but I think you'll be surprised how they stay on, the black fabric is of course stretchy and that stretches to fit your shape (because I am too lazy and unskilled for anything more complicated ;D) So I'll think you'll be alright! :)

I'll have to make this when I'm a little older or add straps. I'm more or less flat-chested. aargh!
