In February I made the Burda top after seeing Sharon’s post. It gives all the details you need to make the pattern.

I was totally taken with this unique top. I loved the draping and the high neck. The fabric is dove grey bamboo knit from http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/xcart/home.php.
I experimented with gathering using the clear elastic to see if it was possible to save time. It was not as effective as the recommended gathering with a long stitch and then applying the elastic. The top requires a moderate amount of time to make because of the gathering, it also requires a significant amount of fabric. The fit of the top is good it is longer than most knit tops and looks great with a long cardigan.
