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.)
