Wheee! I am so elated with my continued success at uploading pictures into the text, I thought I'd go to town and enter this too, also just finished. I used M6755 for the top. The only alterations I made were to self-line the sleeves, and because the fabric (a knit from Ebay) was such a pig to work with that I abandoned the buttonholes on the back and sewed the buttons through both edges.
The trousers were based on V1415, which was not designed for knit fabrics, and I lined them with habotai so that they didn't cling.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]    [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I initially had the same problem.

You have to click the "attachments" list, browse and upload, then click on attach.

Then you have to click on "more attachments" and go through the process again.  Then repeat for the third image and the fourth image

The code it generates in your message should refer to image 0 for the first pic, to image 1 for the second pic, then mage 2 and image 3.

I find most of the processes on this site very easy but Images defeat me every time.
Having said that, for someone with the sense of direction of a homing pigeon, I've given up trying to navigate through the threads and sub threads and baby threads of child threads. I go to unread now and read everything. Trouble with that is I can never find it again as I don't know ehere it was in the first place.  :S
Good luck Helen...your top is beautiful...in the text or out!  :)

Thank you Wrenkins!  Posting photos certainly defeats me, I do it so infrequently I forget how it was done. Even when I send an attachment in an email I seem to have to do it differently each time.  :[

You have to upload one image, and attach it
Then you click on 'more images' and upload another image and attach it.

If you miss out the 'more images' bit you will keep on attaching the same image.  I've done that more than once!

@Helen M - just as BrendaP says. I clicked on:
1.  Attachments and other options
2. Choose file - choose from your pictures and open
 then, when your picture reference appears in the box
3. Insert attachment
4. More attachments
 and repeat the process.

This is the blind leading the blind as this morning I didn't think I could do it!

@Helen M is there any chance you could try again? You'd need to click onto insert attachment for every pictures. It'll look like that:

I'll have another go but that is what I saw when I did it previously.

This is my Style Arc Harmony top. https://www.stylearc.com/shop/pdf-sewing-patterns/harmony-woven-top-pdf/ Fabric is a silky polyester bought from Lili fabrics at Manchester Hobbycraft show. Each sleeve has 4 pieces, 2 of which are semi circle ruffles that need ‘finishing’, time consuming! I used an overlocked edge and turned once option rather than a double turned hem.
 
Changes made were to increase side seams from 3/8” to 5/8”, with hindsight maybe the smaller size would have worked but it’s ages since I sewed a woven top so erred on the side of caution. I shortened length by 1 1/2” which is normal for me.
 
Not sure if I’ll make it again as it’s a fashion thing but nice and summery plus the sleeves are ‘arm friendly’!
