Sewing pattern help

Hello, I know I haven't been here for ages but life crops up every now and again and takes me away!
At the moment however, I am desperately looking for a pattern for a top.
Here is a picture of the kind of top, when I tried it on, I don't believe it was boned, just very fitted and shapely. Unfortuantely it was in the wrong colour....so if I can find a pattern I'd like to see if I can make it....
Thanks guys!

You might try looking here:

Not sure how many of the patterns are boned, though. (Pretty top, btw.)
:AI want to move to theory. Everything works in theory.0 -

How about this one? (this is an American site because it shows the pattern clearly but you can get Burda patterns from John Lewis shops over here).

Have a look at www.sewingpatterns.com , its in the us but they deliver to uk and much cheaper than over here.They do allsorts of patterns from Burda,New Look, etc plus a lot i`ve never heard of.
I`ve used them a couple of times now.0 -
This site is also very good, it's burda inspired patterns and a lot of them are free www.burdastyle.com

thanks guys - I can only find boned ones, and I'm not sure I have the sewing skills to cope with that
gutted, that top would have been perfect
thank you xx0 -
Boning isn't hard to do, it's just a matter of getting it in the right place so the bone doesn't stick in you. But I think the pattern I found is boning-less, at least the pattern doesn't call for it. So it may still be OK if you like the style.
