Description

This was my final project for the semester. I had intended on making a chic vintage vogue jacket with a huge collar, but after i ruined the wool fabric grain for that I had to choose something else. I downloaded this pattern for free, found some plain linen I had in my stash, and added the scalloped lace for contrast on what I thought would be a booooring shirt.
I actually love this now, and even though I don’t wear this beige color often I do plan on wearing this out alot! Its the perfect combo of girliness and somber style-especially those poofy little sleeves.

I ended up getting a B on this due to my uneven sleeve ruffles, but I dont care cause this semester is OVER!

Material Notes

I wanted to hurt my sewing machine for refusing to sucessfully complete a buttonhole, I had to find another but it finally worked!

      Oooh I have no idea, Wet seal probably, during their 5 dollar sale? I have seen some very similar on Urban Outfitters, but they charge way too much!

    Well done! I actually like the uneven ruffles. It gives the blouse such character.

    It’s so cute… I really like the sleeve-ruffles, it doesn’t matter if they’re uneven (and I love your tatoo!).

    Nice shirt & interesting color and job well done with the ruffles, but cannot not-mention this supersweet tatoo, ugly glasses and gorgeous green squiggly thingies in your ears :heart shower in my eyes: :)

    a B? Who are they kidding, I say A+, and who cares anyway, it’s a pass and as long as you love it. I really do so “great job” from me xx

    I really like the fact that you used different material for the rufles, it looks really great! :)
