Description

this is lovely.

the one is the picture is for my mama dearest. she’s a special lady, so she gets this special shirt.

i have enough of this fabric for another special shirt, for another special lady.

is it you?

i should hope so.

very beautiful green leopard print designer surplus silk. princess seams, with my signature overlocked-turned-to-the-outside-and-topstitched-down seams. i like doing seams this way because it is interesting and cool and makes for a nice experience for the wearer—all the threads are on the outside, so the only thing against your skin is pure silk. yummmmmm.

double breasted, three hand-sewn snaps in front. pretty little bias at armholes and collar.

you tell me your shoulder-to-bottom-of-hem measurement and your bust measurement when you order, i sew it up and send it you. (please allow about a week for the making.)
