This time, I made a couple of changes. I left off the sleeve bands and simply turned up a narrow hem instead. I also made a slight "mullet" hem, with the back longer than the front, and turned up a narrow hem there as well.
The result is a very loose fitting, swingy top that I like better than the original. It also makes a nice ensemble when combined with the skirt. Thanks for the suggestion, Janine! Here are a few shots of that:
Also, I couldn't resist a Shams-style twirly shot so you can see the skirt in motion:
Yes, Summer is officially over, but it's still warm and it's fiesta time, so I'll still get some wear out of this before the weather gets too cool.
PS-the black pants are the Hudson Pant by The Sewing Workshop (aka TSW) made from linen I bought from Gorgeous Fabrics last year.

Hee hee hee! I love this, Nancy!
This is beautiful! You really got a wonderful fit and design on this. And I love it with both the slacks and the skirt. Nice work!
The skirt and flowy top are GORGEOUS, and oh, so flattering on you! Great job.
