bra top construction....

so I decided to make a mock up of

( oops bra top photo... )

can't remember if I mentioned it before... but... it's been lying around - and I had been thinking to make a matching bra top to go with the gold pants.  Pattern is absolutely ancient.  ($1.50??? - got to be from the 60's or 70's)

I had just enough black cotton lying around.  The mock up turned out okay - Had to make some adjustments.  Extra dart in the upper bust. and take it in a good inch or two in the centre....

but I really don't like it...

( why?  )
