Not sure how it would take to top stitching... When I wore it I wasn't too bothered by the facings. I think they irritate me more when I am sewing than when I am actually wearing garments, in the end.westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-12812637681357786402016-11-30T17:02:54.983+00:002016-11-30T17:02:54.983+00:00Having worn it, I think I do like it!
