I had a friend show up at work with a shirt I really liked. She spoiled herself at Christmas and tried a new style. I thought it was a success.
She let me borrow it so i could take the pattern from it. The original shirt was about $200 and in velvet. Lovely, but a little heavy for home. A little more expensive that I like to pay for ready made since I can sew unless it is something extra special. I have a cashmere Ralph Lauren dress like that. Fell in love with the picture. Love wearing it even more. Again, a bit warm for home.
I decided to make it in a sky blue silk shantung with sparkly buttons.
I like it for a first pass. Now I have to find something to wear on the bottom since I do not wear leggings for anything but skating anymore. And I do not own a pair of skinny jeans like my sister. I was thinking a skirt. Much more me. To bad it the skirt is not ready for my very long day tomorrow. Hopefully, there will be time to blog. I may not get home until MUCH too late!
