Twist-front top for women in sizes XS-XL, sewn from knit fabrics.
I made view C (short sleeves) in size small, which meets my measurements exactly, and am pleased with the fit. I did add about an inch of length through the waist. Probably could have added more (I am 5'10") but that was all the fabric I had! I had also read that the twist/low point of the V is really low, but I did not find it to be overly revealing (possibly related to my long torso).
The pattern is easy, just three pieces, and comes together quickly. The instructions are easy to follow. I especially liked the care taken to specify how to line up the back neckline with the front pieces so that the hems are even.
