Description
I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this fabric, and each time I now look at myself in the mirror, I start smiling. I’m very satisfied with the fit of this shirt, although (and you can’t see) it is a little bit too flapping around the hips. I do need more pencilskirts, and I think I’ve just beome a shirt girl. Who would’ve thought?

Just love this fabric and the finished product! I’ve also got a piece of it, but haven’t used it yet, but got some inspiration now!

So rad. And great fit. I love the 3/4 sleeves. Did you use a pattern for this?

Thanks! I’m super happy with the fit – no wonder, as the shirt is based on a basic dress block I made at a short course at London College of Fashion. I don’t fit commercial patterns very well, so pattern cutting was the solution…

I like this Blouse.ich like your style. I’m also a fan of 50’s.and I think it’s great that you live it consistently.
I always wanted to know. you can wear these pieces even in everyday life? Do you do it?

Oh my, I wouldn’t dream of thinking my style as consistent! I admire the 50s style, but also get inspired by rockabilly, mod and punk… so you’d see me in a 50s inspired shirt dress together with Dr. Martens boots… So that’s also an answer to your question: I often wear the clothes I make in everyday. Actually, I prefer making clothes wearable for everyday life.

Fantastic Fabric!!!!!! Suits that shirt perfectly…looks lovely on you.

It is so darling! I love the fit, which looks positively perfect! And it looks so fabulous with that skirt and your hair! Fantastic job. Very chic and I think the fabric choice is so whimsy and fun.

Yeah, I’m so glad it turned out whimsy and not only Hawaii… I don’t know if ‘Hawaii shirt’ is a common expression, but in Norway it is, and I think I managed to avoid it looking like that… I did some reshaping on the fit of my basic block (which shouldn’t be necessary, if you’d ask me!), and it is (nearly) perfect now… Yey!

Oooh it makes me smile too!! Lovely fabric and it looks great with your pencil skirt.

Very nice, and the Kasia too. I like the red zipper. And your new haircut!

Thanks :) It’s still asymmetrical though, longer and classy on the other side of the face. I’ll show you when I’m posting the V8280… ;)
The modified Kasia is my favourite skirt. i just skipped the pockets and front flap and ta-ta!

Ohhhhh, this fabric is wounderful!!!! I´d just bought it myself in sweden and I´m goning to make a really sweet 50´s dress with a pink and with underskirt (I think it´s called underskirt in enghlish=).. Your blouse is soooo nice, well done.

Can’t wait to see… I’m sure it will look great as a 50s dress! I wasn’t sure about the fabric at first, but this result make me want to make a dress as well… You go first, yeah?

Who’s a pretty bird then?

And here I thought flamingos were for just yard decoration and vintage bedsheets! But this…this is simply cute. I like your shirt. It has just the right pop of color and goes vewy well with your skirt. I thought it was a modified Kasia at first. Nice ensamble.

Thanks a lot! I’d never thought I’d wear flamingo prints… ever! So this surprised me as well, and I’m happy with the result! The skirt is a modified Kasia! I’ve posted another project with that.
